癌症連續44年居十大死因之首 肺癌、胰臟癌、卵巢癌死亡率微幅上升
台灣癌症連續44年位居十大死因之首,2025年肺癌仍是首位,胰臟癌、卵巢癌死亡率微幅上升,但整體癌症標準化死亡率呈下降趨勢。公費肺癌篩檢發現早期個案,但胰臟癌尚無合適篩檢方式,卵巢癌與多種因素有關。胰臟癌五年存活率已提升至10%。

台灣癌症連續44年位居十大死因之首,2025年肺癌仍是首位,胰臟癌、卵巢癌死亡率微幅上升,但整體癌症標準化死亡率呈下降趨勢。公費肺癌篩檢發現早期個案,但胰臟癌尚無合適篩檢方式,卵巢癌與多種因素有關。胰臟癌五年存活率已提升至10%。

台灣去年癌症死亡人數創下44年新高,其中肺癌、胰臟癌、卵巢癌的死亡率上升。總死亡人數減少,但癌症仍是首要死因,佔總死亡人數的27.5%。

美國研究團隊發現,治療胰臟癌(癌王)的新方向可能在於反向過度刺激特定生長路徑,導致癌細胞訊號過載而死亡,此研究發表於《老化》期刊,為未來治療策略提供新思維,但距離實際應用仍有距離。

日本國際貿易促進會原訂本月21日的中國訪問計畫因會長河野洋平逝世而延後。中方通知難以安排與中國領導層成員會面,此行原期望藉由河野洋平的「老朋友」身分尋求修復日中關係的突破口,並就關鍵礦產出口管制等問題要求改善。

Former Japanese Liberal Democratic Party President and House of Representatives Speaker Yohei Kono passed away on June 8 at the age of 89 due to pancreatic cancer. He was known for his significant contributions to Japan's diplomacy with China and South Korea, particularly the 1993 "Kono Statement" on comfort women.

An early US trial shows a genetically modified virus injected directly into pancreatic tumors stopped growth and spread in 3 patients. Researchers are optimistic, noting the low dose used yielded unexpected results, though more research with larger groups is needed.

A Yale University study in mice suggests that different fatty acids have contrasting effects on pancreatic cancer. Omega-3 rich fish oil was linked to lower disease burden, while monounsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid were associated with faster tumor progression.

兩性作家小彤(楊美惠)罹患胰臟癌後,歷經12次化療成功抗癌,並在臉書分享全球第3期臨床試驗中,胰臟癌口服新藥「Daraxonrasib」顯著延長晚期患者存活期的喜訊,對此感到振奮。

美國生技公司Revolution Medicines開發的新藥daraxonrasib,在晚期胰臟癌大型臨床試驗中,將患者中位存活期從6.7個月延長至13.2個月,幾乎翻倍。這項成果來自「分子膠」技術,通過化學方式把有害蛋白「黏」到其他蛋白上,進而抑制其功能。

A recent study indicates a rising incidence of pancreatic cancer in individuals aged 15-39, with an annual growth rate of 4.35%. Dr. Huang Xuan advises adopting healthy lifestyle habits to mitigate risks.
