Current topics on precursors to pancreatic cancer.
Prognosis of invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is bleak and the vast majority of patients with pancreatic cancer die of their disease. The detection and treatment of the non-invasive precursor lesions of pancreatic cancer offer the opportunity to cure this devastating disease and therefore great efforts are being made to identify the precursors to pancreatic cancer. Several distinct pre...
متن کاملStromal SPOCK1 supports invasive pancreatic cancer growth
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is marked by an abundant stromal deposition. This stroma is suspected to harbor both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressing properties. This is underscored by the disappointing results of stroma targeting in clinical studies. Given the complexity of tumor-stroma interaction in PDAC, there is a need to identify the stromal proteins that are predominantly tu...
متن کاملMinimally invasive pancreatic cancer surgery: What is the current evidence?
Surgery remains the only option to cure pancreatic cancer. Although the use of laparoscopy in oncology is rapidly growing worldwide, its efficacy in pancreatic surgery remains controversial. A number of studies have compared outcomes of minimally invasive and open pancreatic resections. However, they are mostly non-randomized trials including relatively small groups of patients. In addition, mo...
متن کاملEfficacy of minimally invasive therapies on unresectable pancreatic cancer
For patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer, current chemotherapies have negligible survival benefits. Thus, developing effective minimally invasive therapies is currently underway. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization plus radiofrequency ablation and/or 125I radioactive seed implantation on unresectable pancreatic cancer. We analyzed the out...
متن کاملAntiproteases in preventing the invasive potential of pancreatic cancer cells.
The process of tumor progression and metastasis involves degradation of the extracellular matrix and is governed by an intricate balance of proteases, their activators and their inhibitors, in which malignant cells are permitted to infiltrate the adjacent structures and gain access to lymph and blood vessels. These proteases can be broadly categorized into three families: matrix metalloproteina...
