Interaction of pancreatic ductal carcinoma with nerves leads to nerve damage

Gastroenterology, 1994
Perineural extension of pancreatic adenocarcinoma has been explained as a mechanical extension along planes of least resistance. This study tests whether the cancer is limited to following these planes and if substances involved in cell signaling are involved in the interaction of cancer cells with nerves.Samples of tissue from patients undergoing ...

Thrombospondin-1 expression as a prognostic predictor of pancreatic ductal carcinoma

International Journal of Oncology, 2002
Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) was suggested to be a potential regulator of tumor growth and metastasis. We examined TSP-1 expression in 77 cases of invasive ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, and analyzed the correlation between the TSP-1 expression pattern and clinicopathological ...

The Levels of Tumor Markers in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Carcinoma and Their Values in Differentiation Between Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Carcinoma and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Pancreas, 2018
ObjectivesThe levels of tumor markers in pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PNEC) are unknown, and imaging findings of PNEC and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have overlaps. In this study, we show the tumor markers in PNEC and evaluate their values for distinguishing PNEC from PDAC.MethodsThirty-three cases of PDAC and 21 cases of PNEC were ...

Cytologic features of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia and pancreatitis: Potential pitfalls in the diagnosis of pancreatic ductal carcinoma

Diagnostic Cytopathology, 2010
AbstractFine‐needle aspiration (FNA) has played a significant role in the diagnosis of pancreatic masses but false‐positive diagnoses occur.The Anatomic Pathology files were searched for FNAs of pancreas with subsequent resections. FNAs with a diagnosis of positive for or suspicious for adenocarcinoma followed by a benign resection specimen were ...

The molecular genetics of pancreatic ductal carcinoma.

Minerva chirurgica, 2003
Pancreatic ductal carcinoma remains the 4th leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States, with an overall 5-year survival of less than 3%. Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in our understanding of the molecular biology of pancreatic ductal carcinoma, with pancreatic cancer now considered one of the ...

Endocrine and intermediate cells in pancreatic ductal carcinoma and in chronic pancreatitis.

Roczniki Akademii Medycznej w Bialymstoku (1995), 2003
As most pancreatic ductal carcinomas have the genotype of ductal epithelial cells it is believed that they originate from the epithelium of these structures. It has been proved that endocrine cells are frequently present in ductal carcinoma. Morphological, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural evaluation and statistical analysis revealed the presence of

The molecular genetics of pancreatic ductal carcinoma: a review.

Surgical oncology, 2001
In the last several years, numerous advances in the field of molecular genetics have been applied to pancreatic ductal carcinoma- the 5th leading cause of cancer death in the United States. This review summaries the current knowledge about adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

[Neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy of ductal pancreatic carcinoma].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie, 2000
The optimal oncological management of ductal pancreatic cancer remains undefined. More than 60% of these patients have disseminated disease at the time of presentation. Here radical surgery alone cannot guarantee a cure. Even in the best case of a R0-resection with extended lymph node dissection the reported 5-year survival rates of 20-30% are ...
