Pancreatic cancer has a five-year overall survival rate <5%, a situation that has not improved since for 40 years. Diabetes mellitus including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a suspected risk factor for the development of pancreatic cancer and nearly 45% of the pancreatic cancer cases are likely to present as new onset diabetes cases; however, the nature of association between T2D and pancrea...
CONTEXT Pancreatic cancer is still associated with a high mortality and morbidity for affected patients. To this date the role of neoadjuvant therapy in the standard treatment of pancreatic cancer remains elusive. The aim of our study was to review the latest results and current approaches in neoadjuvant therapy of pancreatic cancer. METHODS We performed a literature review for neoadjuvant th...
Exocrine pancreatic cancer is significantly more common in younger men than in younger women. The male-to-female sex ratio is, in most countries, between 1.25 and 1.75 to 1, but decreases with increasing age. Moreover, prior oophorectomy appeared in one study to be significantly more common in women with pancreatic cancer than in controls. This has raised interest in sex hormones in the develop...
INTRODUCTION Pancreatic cancer belongs to carcinomas associated with poor prognosis and low survival rate. It has been highlighted that the cancer risk is linked to both environmental and genetic factors. Available studies allow to estimate that genetic factors play a role in 5-10% of patients with pancreatic cancer. Beside other carcinomas, pancreatic cancer occurs in hereditary neoplastic syn...
Background: Sister Mary Joseph Nodule (SMJN) is a rare metastatic umbilical nodule with primary tumor genital or gastrointestinal sites. Pancreas location for metastases. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma associated SMJN usually arise from the body and tail of pancreas. We report case SMJ nodule’s as cutaneous manifestation pancreatic head cancer. Case Report: A 59-year-old man, presented epigastric, b...
BACKGROUND Bmi1 is an integral component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) and is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple cancers. It also plays a key role in the functioning of endogenous stem cells and cancer stem cells. Previous work implicated a role for cancer stem cells in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer. We hypothesized that Bmi1 plays an integral role in enhancing pancr...
A family history of pancreatic cancer has consistently been associated with increased risk of pancreatic cancer. However, uncertainty remains about the strength of this association. Results from previous studies suggest a family history of select cancers (i.e., ovarian, breast and colorectal) could also be associated, although not as strongly, with increased risk of pancreatic cancer. We examin...
PURPOSE Pancreatic cancer frequently causes diabetes. We recently proposed adrenomedullin as a candidate mediator of pancreatic β-cell dysfunction in pancreatic cancer. How pancreatic cancer-derived adrenomedullin reaches β cells remote from the cancer to induce β-cell dysfunction is unknown. We tested a novel hypothesis that pancreatic cancer sheds adrenomedullin-containing exosomes into circu...
Individuals with a family history of pancreatic cancer have an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Quantification of this risk provides a rational basis for cancer risk counseling and for screening for early pancreatic cancer. In a prospective registry-based study, we estimated the risk of pancreatic cancer in individuals with a family history of pancreatic cancer. Standardized inci...
CONTEXT Retroperitoneal lymph node enlargement in patients with pancreatic cancer is sometimes treated as incurable disease. Non-metastatic causes of lymphadenopathy should however be considered. CASE REPORTS Two cases of significant retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy in the setting of pancreatic cancer, treated by pancreaticoduodenectomy and lymph node dissection are described. Both cases had a...
