For the first time in more than a decade, the FDA has approved a new first-line treatment for patients with metastatic #pancreaticcancer, called NALIRIFOX. After a clinical trial showed a positive survival benefit, the combination chemotherapy called NALIRIFOX is now approved for patients who have not received any previous treatment. For a disease with limited treatment options, this is exciting news. 💜 We've answered some of the most common questions related to this new treatment option at pcan.at/s2nut9. If you have additional questions, you can contact PanCAN Patient Services at 📱 877-2- PANCAN or 📧 patientservices@pancan.org. Our Case Managers can help you understand your options and connect you with resources to learn more.

I would like to thank the Heinz Nixdorf Stiftung for their generous and ground-breaking support of an endowed TUM professorship for AI-supported organoid development at the Center for Organoid Systems (COS).
Our #organoid research will be supported by the Heinz Nixdorf Foundation with 3.8 mio. euros. 👏 The findings could be clinically applied, in particular for individualized #cancertherapies: go.tum.de/584908 #AI #organoidmodels #stemcells @MIBE_TUM 📷U.Meyer
