Breakthrough Pill Doubles Survival for Pancreatic Cancer | Atlanta News

from Atlanta News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

FDA just approved a groundbreaking pill for advanced pancreatic cancer—daraxonrasib, now called Rasonque—targeting the mutated protein behind 90% of these deadly tumors. In trials, patients lived nearly twice as long with far fewer side effects than chemo. Though pricey at $39,800 per month, it’s a lifeline for those out of options. This breakthrough could unlock treatments for other “undruggable” cancers too—and arrived six months early, signaling urgent hope in an otherwise grim fight.
