OT: South Alabama finds possible Pancreatic Cancer Cure
http://www.examiner.com/science-news-in-...ancer-cure

"Honokiol reduced pancreatic cancer cell growth and produced pancreatic cell death. The affect was apparent within 24 hours of dosing with a 70 to 80 percent pancreatic cancer death rate within 72 hours."

This would be a huge breakthrough in the fight against cancer! I hope this, along with other studies and work done at other institutions, can pave the way for a cure for all cancers.

I've had several family members die from this cancer. It's ruthless....and pretty much, a death warrant.

After two weeks of all kinds of tests while in a hospital in 2008, I had my surgeon tell me he was 99% sure I had pancreatic cancer, but it turned out that 1% uncertainty was where my case fell. I knew if I had it, it was death sentence. I hope someday that people hearing their doctor tell them they have pancreatic cancer can be reassured that it is something that can be taken care of and the patient can look forward to a long productive life.

Good work South Alabama!

Hey, we're the ones that do cancer research (I kid, I kid). Good for South Alabama, I've always thought they were undervalued as a university (especially in this state, where everything revolves around football), hopefully this will put you guys on the map. This would obviously be huge.

Guy this is way bigger than an attaboy for South Al. If it actually turns out to be a viable cure for Pancreatic Cancer this would be huge for the entire world. As it stands now Pancreatic Cancer is a first class ticket to a dirt nap, I truly hope that this possible cure IS viable.

Good stuff. Kudos to the brainiacs at USA.

Remember, cancer got John Wayne when the entire Apache Nation and Japanese Navy couldn't do it.

Patrick Swayze also died from this cancer. It's interesting. I'm really into health research and the epidemiology piece is one I find interesting. I knew I liked South Alabama for something more than their good football team and nice beaches.
