Clinicogenomic Landscape of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Identifies KRAS Mutant Dosage as Prognostic of Overall Survival

Clinicogenomic Landscape of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: The Prognostic Role of KRAS Mutation Dosage Academic Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common histological type of pancreatic cancer, is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality and has the lowest five-year survival rate among all cancer types. Over ...

Peripheral, Central, and Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathic Changes in Pancreatic Cancer

Neuropathic Changes in Pancreatic Cancer Academic Background Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers today, characterized by late diagnosis and high aggressiveness. Despite some progress in diagnosis and treatment in recent years, the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer remains extremely low, at only around 12%. The pathogenes...

Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer by a High-Throughput Protease-Activated Nanosensor Assay

New Method for Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer—A Protease-Activated Nanosensor Assay Background Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Due to its nonspecific early symptoms, most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, resulting in limited treatment options and poor prognosis...

Targeting a Chemo-Induced Adaptive Signaling Circuit Reveals Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Pancreatic Cancer

Targeting Chemotherapy-Induced Adaptive Signaling Circuitry for Therapeutic Potential in Pancreatic Cancer Background Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and lethal cancer, with a five-year survival rate that remains extremely low. Over 80% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced, unresectable stage, where existin...

Distinct Clinical Outcomes and Biological Features of Specific KRAS Mutants in Human Pancreatic Cancer

Clinical Outcomes and Biological Characteristics Study Report for Pancreatic Cancer Patients with KRAS Mutations Research Background and Objective Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is predicted to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030. Only about 20% of PDAC patients are eligible for resection surgery, thus the five-year sur...
