(Stand Up To Cancer) Pancreatic Cancer Collective-funded research (Lustgarten Foundation and Stand Up To Cancer) from Dr. Tony Hunter (Salk Institute) and the SU2C-CRUK-Lustgarten Pancreatic Cancer Dream Team has found the presence of a key protein (Leukemia Inhibitory Factor or LIF) in PDAC microenvironment may be an exploitable treatment target to slow tumor progression or metastasis and may lead to the development of new targeted strategies for pancreatic cancer therapy.
