Fantastic talk this morning by Oonagh on tackling malnutrition in pancreatic cancer. An important but often overlooked aspect of managing patients with this disease. Looking forward to seeing what comes of the FEED Trial. #IACR2025 News IACR

Exciting to see amifostine repurposed as a radioprotective agent for pancreatic cancer! Traditionally administered intravenously, a targeted nasal delivery method delivers it directly to the duodenum, where it shields healthy cells from radiation. Now entering clinical trials.

Early diagnosis of #OvarianCancer could raise survival to 90% - but it’s hard to detect. At TTMI - Trinity Translational Medicine Institute, Dr. Sharon O’Toole & Marika Kanjuga are developing a blood test to catch it earlier.

PhD student, Lorraine Smith is exploring a new way to treat Barrett’s oesophagus using electroporation - a gentler method. Funded by Breakthrough Cancer Research through the All Ireland Cancer Network (AllCaN) Oesophageal programme, her work could pave the way for a new clinical trial for people with #BarrettsOesophagus
