Big step forward in cancer treatments?

It sounds like good news for people with pancreatic cancer in the future, once they're able to moderate the side-effects more.

It's doesn't sound like it's a cure, but rather long-term disease management, like we already have for advanced prostate cancer. I hope other deadly cancers like ovarian cancer can catch up with us the same way.

Obviously, curing cancers would be ideal, but making more cancers into long-term chronic diseases that can be managed into natural old age (just like diabetes, HIV, or Parkinson's) would be a huge win.

@northoftheborder You are absolutely right. I get excited about anything that is 100% success. That's almost never the case.
