Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: A Review of Local Ablative Therapies [PDF]

open access: yesCancers, 2018
Pancreatic cancer is typically characterized by its aggressive tumor growth and dismal prognosis. Approximately 30% of patients with pancreatic cancer present with locally advanced disease, broadly defined as having a tumor-to-artery interface >180°, having an unreconstructable portal vein or superior mesenteric vein and no signs of metastatic ...

Hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy - Biological rationale, clinical application, and treatment results [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
There is substantial evidence from preclinical data that the antitumor cytotoxicity of selected chemotherapeutic agents either alone or combined with radiation can be enhanced by appropriate heat exposure (40-44 degrees C) of cells or tumor tissues ...

Locally advanced pancreatic cancer — new therapeutic challenges

open access: yesNowotwory. Journal of Oncology, 2016
The overall survival rate of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remains extremely poor, and the only potentially curative treatment is radical surgery. There are three subgroups among the patients: primary resectable, metastatic and locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Irreversible electroporation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer

open access: yesDiagnostic and Interventional Imaging, 2016
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the solid cancers associated with the poorest prognosis; the only curative treatment remains surgical resection but in most cases, this treatment is not possible because of distant metastasis or local extension. Irreversible electroporation is a new tumor ablation technique, which provides cellular apoptosis without ...
