Immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer
A team of about 15 VUB researchers led by prof. Ilse Rooman is dedicating itself to pancreatic cancer research. Only 10% of patients survive 5 years after diagnosis and the number of diagnoses increases every year. In Prof. Dr. Ilse Rooman's Laboratory for Medical and Molecular Oncology, the research team discovered a new cell in the pancreas that offers opportunities for immunotherapy. The discovered cell is found in the pancreas of healthy people and bears a strong resemblance to the most aggressive pancreatic cancer cells. Understanding more about how the tumor develops will help improve detection and treatment.
