Pancreatic cancer: translating lessons from mouse models.
Pancreatic cancer is the 10th most common cancer and 4th cause of cancer related deaths. Progress in diagnosis and treatment has been slow and disappointing but improvement in understanding of pathogenesis and of molecular changes may offer some ground for rational and etiological approach. During the last ten years the first evidence about the benefit of targeting dysregulated pathways was pro...
متن کاملPancreatic cancer imaging: the new role of endoscopic ultrasound.
Pancreatic cancer is the most deadly of all gastrointestinal malignancies and has a very poor prognosis. Unfortunately, most patients present late in the course of their disease and, at the time of diagnosis, only 10 to 25% of patients will be eligible for potentially curative resection. Efforts must be oriented towards an early diagnosis and towards reliably identifying patients who can really...
متن کاملPrediction of Anti-cancer Nanotherapy Efficacy by Imaging
Anticancer nanotherapeutics have shown mixed results in clinical trials, raising the questions of whether imaging should be used to i) identify patients with a higher likelihood of nanoparticle accumulation, ii) assess nanotherapeutic efficacy before traditional measures show response, and iii) guide adjuvant treatments to enhance therapeutic nanoparticle (TNP) delivery. Here we review the use ...
متن کاملProgress in cancer genetics: lessons from pancreatic cancer.
BACKGROUND In the near future advances in the molecular basis of cancer are expected to facilitate cancer diagnosis, to rationalize treatment, to facilitate screening, and to identify individuals requiring cancer prevention strategies. METHODS The literature was reviewed concerning the genetic alterations that contribute to pancreatic cancer development. RESULTS Virtually all pancreatic can...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound imaging of pancreatic duct ascariasis.
Ascaris lumbricoides infestation is endemic in tropical countries. Most infections by A. lumbricoides are asymptomatic, but they can produce a wide spectrum of manifestations including hepatobiliary and pancreatic complications. Pancreatic ascariasis is a rare entity. In a study of 500 patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease due to A. lumbricoides infection, only seven had pancreatic...
