DPC4 Gene Status of the Primary Carcinoma Correlates With Patterns of Failure in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer

TL;DR: Pancreatic cancers are represented by distinct genetic subtypes with significantly different patterns of failure, and determinations of DPC4 status at initial diagnosis may be of value in stratifying patients into treatment regimens related to local control versus systemic therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent Progress in Pancreatic Cancer

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that multidisciplinary care that provides comprehensive and coordinated evaluation and treatment is the most effective way to manage patients with pancreatic cancer, and it is clear that multi-disciplinary care is the best way to care for patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Sarcopenia on Outcomes Following Resection of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: Sarcopenia was an objective measure of patient frailty that was strongly associated with long-term outcome independent of tumor-specific factors, and was a predictor of survival following pancreatic surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase 2 multi-institutional trial evaluating gemcitabine and stereotactic body radiotherapy for patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: This phase 2 multi‐institutional study was designed to determine whether gemcitabine with fractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) results in acceptable late grade 2 to 4 gastrointestinal toxicity when compared with a prior trial of GEM with single‐fraction SBRT in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Computational Modeling of Pancreatic Cancer Reveals Kinetics of Metastasis Suggesting Optimum Treatment Strategies

TL;DR: The effects of different treatment modalities are analyzed, finding that therapies that efficiently reduce the growth rate of cells earlier in the course of treatment appear to be superior to upfront tumor resection.
