Identification and Validation of Potentially Clinically Relevant CpG Regions within the Class 2 Tumor Suppressor Gene SFRP1 in Pancreatic Cancer

Maximilian Hauschulz et al.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal cancer with poor survival rates. In addition to surgery, chemotherapy is commonly used to prolong overall survival. However, the methylation of the SFRP1 gene in the promoter region may be associated with a poor response to gemcitabine treatment. This study aimed to identify key CpG sites in the SFRP1 gene promoter and evaluate their impact on overall survival.

Cancer statistics, 2022

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

Prognostic value of serum CEA and CA19-9 levels in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Eramah Ermiah et al.

Summary: The present study investigated the associations of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels with clinicopathological variables and survival outcomes in Libyan patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The results demonstrated that higher levels of CEA and CA19-9 were associated with more aggressive tumor characteristics, lower survival rates, and higher disease recurrence rates.

Validation of SFRP1 Promoter Hypermethylation in Plasma as a Prognostic Marker for Survival and Gemcitabine Effectiveness in Patients with Stage IV Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Benjamin Emil Stubbe et al.

Summary: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a disease with a poor prognosis, and there are currently no reliable blood-based biomarkers for predicting survival. This study examined the potential of phSFRP1 as an independent prognostic blood-based biomarker in PDAC patients, showing that patients with hypermethylation had poorer survival outcomes.

Cell-free DNA promoter hypermethylation as a diagnostic marker for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma-An external validation study

Stine D. Henriksen et al.

Summary: The study validated a diagnostic prediction model based on hypermethylation of genes in PDAC patients' cfDNA, showing superior diagnostic value compared to CA 19-9 alone. Combining the diagnostic test with CA 19-9 could be a clinically useful biomarker for PDAC.

Epigenetic Alterations in Pancreatic Cancer Metastasis

Sarah S. Wang et al.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer, particularly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), is a significant cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. While genetic mutations driving PDA initiation and progression have been identified, the mechanisms underlying PDA metastasis remain elusive. It is suggested that epigenetic fluctuations may play a critical role in driving PDA metastasis.

The relation between inflammation-based parameters and survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer

Sema Turker et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of tumor markers and inflammation parameters on survival in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Age, CA19-9, and high NLR were identified as independent adverse prognostic factors for overall survival, while a chemotherapy regimen with specific drugs led to a significant increase in overall survival.
