Israeli scientists find way to treat pancreatic cancer in 14 days

A new treatment developed byย Tel Aviv Universityย could induce the destruction of pancreatic cancer cells, eradicating the number of cancerous cells by up to 90% after two weeks of daily injections of a small molecule known as PJ34.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the hardest cancers to treat. Most people who are diagnosed with the disease do not even live five years after being diagnosed.

The study, led by Prof. Malka Cohen-Armon and her team at TAUโ€™s Sackler Faculty of Medicine, in collaboration with Dr. Talia Golanโ€™s team at the Cancer Research Center at Sheba Medical Center, was recently published in the journalย Oncotarget.

Specifically, the study found that PJ34, when injected intravenously, causes the self-destruction of human cancer cells during mitosis, the scientific term for cell division.

The research was conducted with xenografts, transplantation of human pancreatic cancer into immunocompromised mice. A month after being injected with the molecule daily for 14 days, โ€œthere was a reduction of 90% of pancreatic cells in the tumor,โ€ Cohen-Armon told The Jerusalem Post. โ€œIn one mouse, the tumor completely disappeared.โ€

โ€œThis molecule causes an anomaly during mitosis of human cancer cells, provoking rapid cell death,โ€ she said. โ€œThus, cell multiplication itself resulted in cell death in the treated cancer cells.โ€

Moreover, she said, PJ34 appears to have no impact on healthy cells, thus โ€œno adverse effects were observed.โ€ The mice, she said, continued to grow and gain weight as usual.
