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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Exploiting the neoantigen landscape for immunotherapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Immunotherapy approaches for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have met with limited success. It has been postulated that a low mutation load may lead to a paucity of T cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME).

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,

A33 shows similar sensitivity to but is more specific than CDX2 as an immunomarker of colorectal carcinoma [PDF]
Aims: CDX2 is widely used as a sensitive and specific immunomarker for colorectal carcinoma (CRC) but neither this sensitivity nor specificity is absolute. This study is the first known comparison of CDX1 and A33 against CDX2 as immunomarkers for CRC.

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).
