Hoʻopilikia ka maʻi ʻaʻai pancreatic ma kahi o 60,000 ʻAmelika i kēlā me kēia makahiki a ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻano maʻi maʻi make loa. Ma hope o ka hōʻoia ʻana, hiki ke ola ma lalo o 10% o nā maʻi no ʻelima mau makahiki.

ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kekahi chemotherapy i ka wā mua, kū pinepine nā maʻi pancreatic iā lākou. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā ʻoiaʻiʻo he paʻakikī kēia maʻi e mālama me nā ʻano hou e like me ka immunotherapy.

Ua hoʻomohala kahi hui o nā mea noiʻi MIT i kahi hoʻolālā immunotherapy a hōʻike i hiki ke hoʻopau i nā maʻi pancreatic i nā ʻiole.

ʻO kēia lāʻau lapaʻau hou he hui pū ʻana o ʻekolu mau lāʻau e kōkua i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka pale pale pale ponoʻī o ke kino e kūʻē i nā ʻōpū a manaʻo ʻia e komo i nā hoʻokolohua lapaʻau ma hope o kēia makahiki.
