Umhlaza wePancreatic uchaphazela malunga nama-60,000 abantu baseMelika nyaka ngamnye kwaye yenye yezona ndlela zibulalayo zomhlaza. Emva kokuxilongwa, ngaphantsi kwe-10% yezigulane ezinokuphila iminyaka emihlanu.

Nangona enye ichemotherapy isebenza ekuqaleni, amathumba e-pancreatic ahlala exhathisa kubo. Iinyani ziye zangqina ukuba esi sifo sikwanzima ukunyanga ngeendlela ezintsha ezifana nonyango lwamajoni omzimba.

Iqela labaphandi be-MIT ngoku liye laphuhlisa isicwangciso se-immunotherapy kwaye sabonisa ukuba inokuphelisa izicubu ze-pancreatic kwiigundane.

Olu nyango lutsha luyindibaniselwano yamachiza amathathu anceda ukomeleza ukhuselo lomzimba kumathumba kwaye kulindeleke ukuba lungene kulingo lwezonyango ekuhambeni kwexesha kulo nyaka.

Ukuba le ndlela inokuvelisa impendulo ehlala ihleli kwizigulane, iya kuba nefuthe elikhulu kubomi bobuncinci bezigulane ezithile, kodwa kufuneka sibone indlela eyenza ngayo ngokwenene kulingo.
