A University of Arizona cancer researcher has died at the age of 47 from the disease she was working to cure. Rachna Shroff – an expert in the fields of pancreatic and bile duct cancers – “passed away following a battle with an aggressive cancer,” the American Society of Clinical Oncology announced Tuesday.   Earlier this year, Shroff – a mom to her 13-year-old son, Sachin and 17-year-old daughter Simran – was diagnosed with terminal adenocarcinoma – a type of cancer that starts in the glands and lines a patient’s organs.
