IER3 in pancreatic carcinogenesis
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has the highest mortality rate of all cancers and the lowest overall survival rate of less than 5% at 5 years. The incidence of PDAC almost equals its mortality rate and is increasing every year, with more than 10,000 predicted new cases in France, 38,000 in the United States and 65,000 in Europe [1]. PDAC is characterized by a stepwise progression of duc...
متن کاملPossible Involvement of Pancreatic Fatty Infiltration in Pancreatic Carcinogenesis
Pancreatic cancer is difficult to diagnose in its early stage and is one of the most lethal human cancers. Thus, it is important to clarify its major risk factors, predictive factors and etiology. Here, we focus on fatty infiltration of the pancreas and suggest that it could be a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Fatty infiltration of the pancreas is observed as ectopic adipocytes infiltrating...
متن کاملThe pancreatic epithelial cell in vitro: a possible model system for studies in carcinogenesis.
A technique is described for the isolation and maintenance in culture of pancreatic epithelial cells from human embryos or neonatal guinea pigs. Dissociated cells from human material were essentially uncharacterized. Those obtained from guinea pig pancreas were subjected to centrifugal fractionation, and the resulting populations consisted of up to 95% exocrine cells. Suspensions of dissociated...
متن کاملGenetic and Epigenetic Alterations in Pancreatic Carcinogenesis
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. Despite significant progresses in the last decades, the origin of this cancer remains unclear and no efficient therapy exists. PDAC does not arise de novo: three remarkable different types of pancreatic lesions can evolve towards pancreatic cancer. These precursor lesions include: Pancreatic intraepithelial neo...
