Contribution of galectin-1, a glycan-binding protein, to gastrointestinal tumor progression [PDF]
Gastrointestinal cancer is a group of tumors that affect multiple sites of the digestive system, including the stomach, liver, colon and pancreas. These cancers are very aggressive and rapidly metastasize, thus identifying effective targets is crucial ...

Therapeutic Approaches for Metastases from Colorectal Cancer and Pancreatic Ductal Carcinoma [PDF]
Metastasis is the process of dissemination of a tumor, whereby cells from the primary site dislodge and find their way to other tissues where secondary tumors establish. Metastasis is the primary cause of death related to cancer. This process warrants changes in original tumoral cells and their microenvironment to establish a metastatic niche ...

BackgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly devastating disease with an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 8%. New evidence indicates that PDAC cells release pro-inflammatory metabolites that induce a marked alteration of normal ...

Pancreatic tumors imaging: an update [PDF]
Currently, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) represent the mainstay in the evaluation of pancreatic solid and cystic tumors affecting pancreas in 80-85% and 10-15% of the cases respectively. Integration of US,

Common features between neoplastic and preneoplastic lesions of the biliary tract and the pancreas [PDF]
The bile duct system and pancreas show many similarities due to their anatomical proximity and common embryological origin. Consequently, preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the bile duct and pancreas share analogies in terms of molecular ...

Emerging therapies for pancreatic ductal carcinoma
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a solid tumor mass that grows and metastasizes rapidly. There are no definitivemethods for early detection and most patients are diagnosed at a late stage. Those diagnosed at an early stage are eligible for tumorresection. However, many of these patients are soon burdened with tumor recurrence. The tumor grows

Expression of KOC, S100P, mesothelin and MUC1 in pancreatico-biliary adenocarcinomas: development and utility of a potential diagnostic immunohistochemistry panel [PDF]
<b>Background</b> Pancreatico-biliary adenocarcinomas (PBA) have a poor prognosis. Diagnosis is usually achieved by imaging and/or endoscopy with confirmatory cytology. Cytological interpretation can be difficult especially in the setting of

Metabolic syndrome related gene signature predicts the prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal carcinoma. A novel link between metabolic dysregulation and pancreatic ductal carcinoma [PDF]
Abstract Background Pancreatic cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. In recent years, specific metabolic activities, which involves the development of tumor, caused wide public concern. In this study, we wish to explore the correlation between metabolism and progression of tumor.
