New tissue bank boosts hopes for pancreatic cancer sufferers

Medical researchers are hoping for a breakthrough in tackling pancreatic cancer with a new bank that stores tissue from patients.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer - with the worst 10-year survival rate. Most patients are told they may have less than a year to live.

The bank will collect samples from six hospitals in England and Wales, with the aim of eventually providing better treatments and earlier diagnosis.
