miRNAs As Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Its Precursor Lesions: A Review
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a rare but lethal tumor, is difficult to diagnose without performing an invasive procedure. miRNAs are known to be deregulated in PDAC patients, and recent studies have shown that they can be used as diagnostic and prognostic of the disease. The detection of miRNAs in samples acquired through minimally or noninvasive procedures, such as serum, plasma, an...
متن کاملElevated L1CAM expression in precursor lesions and primary and metastastic tissues of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
The promigratory molecule L1CAM is overexpressed in various tumors, often representing an unfavorable prognostic marker. Recently, we identified L1CAM expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells accounting for chemoresistance and increased cell migration. Thus, the present study aims at further elucidating the role of L1CAM in a larger cohort of PDAC specimens including precurso...
متن کاملCarcinogenesis of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Precursor Lesions
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma displays a variety of molecular changes that evolve exponentially with time and lead cancer cells not only to survive, but also to invade the surrounding tissues and metastasise to distant sites. These changes include: genetic alterations in oncogenes and cancer suppressor genes; changes in the cell cycle and pathways leading to apoptosis; and also changes in epithelia...
متن کاملMicroRNA-21 is induced early in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma precursor lesions.
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has the poorest overall prognosis among gastrointestinal cancers; however, curative resection in early-stage PDAC greatly improves survival rates, indicating the importance of early detection. Because abnormal microRNA production is commonly detected in cancer, we investigated noninvasive precursor pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) l...
متن کاملPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma staging
In addition to clinical history and evaluations, the results of laboratory tests and imaging studies help clinicians in determining treatment strategies. Imaging plays a central role in the management of oncology patients including the initial diagnosis, staging, and follow-up to assess treatment response. Historically, radiologists have relied on free-style dictations to convey the results of ...
