任何因為有愛的人死於胰腺癌的人都知道，胰腺癌對健康的身體可產生多快的破壞。 TED 研究會員和生物醫學企業家 蘿拉．安多芙 (Laura Indolfi) 正在發展一個革命性的方法來治療這個複雜且致命的疾病。一種像籠子一樣的裝置，可把藥物送到腫瘤位置，來避免腫瘤擴散。 她說：「我們希望有一天胰腺癌會是一個可治的疾病。」

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers, with a five-year survival rate of only eight percent—a figure unchanged for four decades. The disease's hidden location and lack of blood vessels make traditional chemotherapy ineffective and highly toxic. A new approach uses implantable, biodegradable cages to deliver drugs directly to the tumor, multiplying treatment strength and reducing side effects. This method aims to turn a near-certain death sentence into a potentially curable condition.
