Pancreatic cancer: New Zealand first treatment extending lives of patients

Miriam Walter was told she would not survive to see this Christmas when she was diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer a year ago.

But thanks to a radical new treatment, which she was first in the country to benefit from, the 72-year-old is feeling "absolutely fine" and looking forward to celebrating summer with her family.

The OncoSil device, developed by an Australian medical technology company, is extending and even saving the lives of patients and has been successfully used at Waikato Hospital three times this year to treat people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that can not be operated on.
