A Case of Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia That Was Difficult to Diagnose Preoperatively
A 63-year-old female patient presented to a local physician with pain in her back and epigastric region. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a pancreatic tumor, and the patient was referred to our hospital.

An integrative approach unveils FOSL1 as an oncogene vulnerability in KRAS-driven lung and pancreatic cancer [PDF]
KRAS mutated tumours represent a large fraction of human cancers, but the vast majority remains refractory to current clinical therapies. Thus, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms triggered by KRAS oncogene may yield alternative ...

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

A case of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with marked infiltration with IgG4-positive cells
A 75-year-old man was diagnosed as having pancreatic ductal carcinoma containing remarkable lymphocytic and plasma cell infiltration, as revealed by the cytological examination of endoscopic ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) specimen ...

Pictorial Review of Rare Pancreatic Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions
Various types of tumors and tumor-like lesions may affect the pancreas. Among them, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the most common and is generally referred to as “pancreatic cancer.” Recently, the detection rates of rare pancreatic tumors and ...

Experimental trial for diagnosis of pancreatic ductal carcinoma based on gene expression profiles of pancreatic ductal cells [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDC) remains one of the most intractable human malignancies, mainly because of the lack of sensitive detection methods. Although gene expression profiling by DNA microarray analysis is a promising tool for the development of such detection systems, a simple comparison of pancreatic tissues may yield misleading data that ...

Challenges of drug resistance in the management of pancreatic cancer [PDF]
The current treatment of choice for metastatic pancreatic cancer involves single agent gemcitabine or combination of gemcitabine with capecitabine and erlotinib (tyrosine kinase inhibitor).

Screening of genes specifically activated in the pancreatic juice ductal cells from the patients with pancreatic ductal carcinoma [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDC) is one of the most intractable human malignancies. Surgical resection of PDC at curable stages is hampered by a lack of sensitive and reliable detection methods. Given that DNA microarray analysis allows the expression of thousands of genes to be monitored simultaneously, it offers a potentially suitable approach to ...

Molecular drivers and cells of origin in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma [PDF]
AbstractPancreatic cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The two major histological subtypes of pancreatic cancer are pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), accounting for 90% of all cases, and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (PanNEN), which makes up 3–5% of all cases.
