- Title
Pancreatic cancer biology and genetics.
- Authors

- Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is an aggressive and devastating disease, which is characterized by invasiveness, rapid progression and profound resistance to treatment. Advances in pathological classification and cancer genetics have improved our descriptive understanding of this disease; however, important aspects of pancreatic cancer biology remain poorly understood. What is the pathogenic role of specific gene mutations? What is the cell of origin? And how does the stroma contribute to tumorigenesis? A better understanding of pancreatic cancer biology should lead the way to more effective treatments.
