A Washington state family that has lost nine members to pancreatic cancer is helping researchers better understand the disease. After 10 years research, scientists at the University of Washington identified a gene important in the inherited form of pancreatic cancer &#151; one of the deadliest forms. The finding could help diagnose the disease earlier and treat it.
