The NCI awarded $9.3 million in support of two five-year research projects from researchers in the UNC Lineberger Pancreatic Cancer Center of Excellence in partnership with other institutions.

The Lustgarten Foundation has awarded its inaugural Lustgarten Equity, Accessibility, and Diversity (LEAD) Project grant to Jen Jen Yeh, MD, in support of her PROmoting CLinicAl TrIal EngageMent for Pancreatic Cancer App Study (PROCLAIM Study).

UNC Lineberger’s Yuliya Pylayeva-Gupta, PhD, was the corresponding author of a paper published in Cell Reports Medicine that examined how B cells might be reprogrammed to improve anti-tumor immune response in pancreatic cancer. The study was led by a former research associate, Rahul Mirlekar.

UNC Lineberger’s Channing Der, PhD, and Kirsten Bryant, PhD, are among seven recipients of the inaugural Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) Therapeutic Accelerator Collaborative Award, which provides a total of $340,000 in grant support over two years.

We recommend annual screening for patients who are at elevated risk due to family history or genetic mutations, so we can discover pancreatic cancer when it can still be addressed with surgery. Screening at the High-Risk Pancreatic Cancer Clinic involves conducting MRI scans and endoscopic ultrasound to spot these cancers.

UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center has earned the National Pancreas Foundation Center of Excellence designation

The designation is in recognition of UNC Lineberger's multidisciplinary pancreatic cancer care program and its focus on providing the best possible outcomes and an improved quality of life for patients.
