Mixed pancreatic acinar cell-ductal adenocarcinoma: Complexities in diagnosis and treatment
Background: Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas (ACC) is a rare malignancy, accounting for approximately 1-2% of all pancreatic cancers. Up to a quarter of ACCs are estimated to contain a significant component of another histology such as ...

Role of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 in Pancreatic Cancer: Potential Target for New Therapeutic Approach? [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factors and their receptors play a key role in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) is involved in carcinogenesis and its altered expression has been shown in several tumors ...

Multidisciplinary Approach to a Patient with Acinar Cell Carcinoma, a Rare Pancreatic Malignancy
Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) of the pancreas is a relatively rare malignant neoplasm that constitutes about 1% of all pancreatic exocrine tumors. The disease is generally managed similarly as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), with surgical ...

Pancreatic Acinar Cell Carcinoma in the Setting of a BRCA1 Germline Mutation
Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare neoplasm of the exocrine pancreas. PACC’s molecular and genetic features are poorly elucidated compared with pancreatic ductal cell carcinoma. Here, we present the patient case of a woman in her late 60s,

Targeting claudin‐4 enhances chemosensitivity of pancreatic ductal carcinomas [PDF]
AbstractClaudin (CLDN) family comprises of protein that form a tight junction, and is involved in regulating polarity and differentiation of cells. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of inhibiting CLDN4 in pancreatic ductal carcinomas (PDC).
