Novel agents for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: emerging therapeutics and future directions

open access: yesJournal of Hematology & Oncology, 2018
A poor prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) associated with chemoresistance has not changed for the past three decades. A multidisciplinary diagnosis followed by surgery and chemo(radiation)therapy is the main treatment approach. However,

The role of necroptosis in cancer biology and therapy

open access: yesMolecular Cancer, 2019
Apoptosis resistance is to a large extent a major obstacle leading to chemotherapy failure during cancer treatment. Bypassing the apoptotic pathway to induce cancer cell death is considered to be a promising approach to overcoming this problem ...
