That's why I posted this. It's interesting that this article sort of gives MD Anderson credit for something that has been known for awhile. Not so much pancreatic cancer, but other known cancers relating to exosomes.

I like these statement within the article,

"This appears possible following the discovery that tiny particles the size of viruses called 'exosomes,' which are shed by cancer cells into the blood, contain the entire genetic blueprint of cancer cells."

Ending the paragraph

"The findings are based on research led by Raghu Kalluri, M.D., Ph.D., chairman and professor in MD Anderson's Department of Cancer Biology. The research results appear in the current online edition of the Journal of Biological Chemistry."


"This seminal discovery paves the way for highly sensitive screening for driver mutations of cancer in the blood without the need for biopsy of tumor tissue and importantly, lays the foundation for a new method for the early detection of cancer when the chance for cure is greatest," said MD Anderson President Ronald A. DePinho, M.D."

Just one MD Anderson discovery? There have been many exosome discovery before this...Why does this pave the way? What's not really fair is placing this type of broad information with a large name "MD Anderson" makes any normal reader think they discovered it. The writer should have went into a lot more detail..IMO
