The newly developed treatment daraxonrasib can double the years left to live for patients with pancreatic cancer — but it doesn't cure the disease and only works if the cancer is treated early.

Los pacientes que recibieron daraxonrasib alcanzaron una supervivencia media de 13,2 meses, frente a los 6,7 meses de quienes recibieron quimioterapia

The death rate in the group treated with daraxonrasib was 60% lower than those on chemotherapy. This is hailed as a major advance against metastatic pancreatic cancer.
