Aberrant p16(INK4A) and DPC4/Smad4 expression in intraductal papillary mucinous tumours of the pancreas is associated with invasive ductal adenocarcinoma.

TL;DR: Aberrant protein expression of these cell cycle regulatory genes in IPMT and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia in the current model of pancreatic cancer progression suggest similarities in their development and may also represent the subsequent risk of invasive carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

DPC4/Smad4 Expression and Outcome in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: Prognostic indicators in pancreatic cancer are poorly defined and difficult to quantify preoperatively, hence they may lead to inappropriate patient selection for treatment and accurate assessment of DPC4/Smad4 expression, unlike tumor size, margin status, and perineural invasion, does not require resection.
Journal Article

Overexpression of p21WAF1/CIP1 is an Early Event in the Development of Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aberrant expression of key cell cycle regulatory genes may be important in the early development and progression of PanIN and p21(WAF1/CIP1) overexpression, independent of p53 and/or DPC4/Smad4 expression, may reflect increased Ras activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia in association with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas: implications for disease progression and recurrence.

TL;DR: PanIN lesions found in the ducts of a pancreas with IPMN may be relevant to the development of PC either coincident with IPMn or in the remnant pancrea after curative resection of IPMN.
