Promising Treatment for Metastatic Breast and Pancreatic Cancers

There may be promising treatment for patients with metastatic breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. Metastatic breast cancer, also known as advanced breast cancer, is when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. It is anticipated that by the year 2011, there will be about 162,000 new cases of metastatic breast cancer being diagnosed.

Last year, there were 42,470 cases of diagnosed pancreatic cancer which resulted in 35,240 deaths. Both types of cancer are quite serious and can cause a sufferer to seek Social Security disability benefits.

Early clinical trials are indicating that treatment of monoclonal antibodies, along with existing therapies, may be
helpful in treating pancreatic and metastatic breast cancer.

In one of the studies, scientists were working on a breast cancer vaccine for those who have advanced cancer. In another study, an immune-enhancing antibody is indicating effectiveness in treating pancreatic cancer. Researchers have indicated that it is important for cancer patients to seek clinical trials as early as possible.
