Advances in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Treatment [PDF]
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest malignancies among all cancers. Despite curative intent, surgery and the use of standard cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation therapy, PDAC remains treatment-resistant. In recent years, more contemporary treatment modalities such as immunotherapy via checkpoint inhibition have shown some ...

Targeting Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) [PDF]
Pancreatic cancers are among the most ominous, and among the most studied. Their complexities have provided ample material for a huge investigative effort, which is briefly surveyed in this review. Eradication by surgery has proven extremely difficult, and a successful chemotherapeutic approach is desperately needed.

MicroRNA co-expression networks exhibit increased complexity in pancreatic ductal compared to Vater’s papilla adenocarcinoma [PDF]
iRNA expression abnormalities in adenocarcinoma arising from pancreatic ductal system (PDAC) and Vater’s papilla (PVAC) could be associated with distinctive pathologic features and clinical cancer behaviours.

Immune response and drug therapy based on ac4C-modified gene in pancreatic cancer typing
N-4 cytidine acetylation (ac4C) is an epitranscriptome modification catalyzed by N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) and is essential for cellular mRNA stability, rRNA biosynthesis, cell proliferation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Familial Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), although a rare disease, has a poor prognosis. With 5-year overall survival of 8%, there is a critical need to detect PDAC early or at a premalignant stage. Current screening methods are largely imaging based, but a more focused screening approach based on modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors may improve ...

Collision of ductal adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas: a case report and review of the literature [PDF]
Background: Simultaneous occurrence of exocrine and neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas is very infrequent. We report a patient with an endocrine tumor in the pancreatic-duodenal area and extensive exocrine carcinoma involving the whole pancreas.

Common features between neoplastic and preneoplastic lesions of the biliary tract and the pancreas [PDF]
The bile duct system and pancreas show many similarities due to their anatomical proximity and common embryological origin. Consequently, preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the bile duct and pancreas share analogies in terms of molecular ...

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).
