Tumor Microenvironment in Pancreatic Cancer Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Resistance

Mara H. Sherman et al.

Summary: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a diverse stromal microenvironment that plays a significant role in disease biology and treatment resistance. Recent advancements in imaging, single-cell analytics, and disease modeling have provided insights into the complexity of PDAC tumors. Understanding the functional and spatial dependencies between cancer cells and extracellular matrix components can reveal therapeutic vulnerabilities.

IgG4-related diseases of the digestive tract

J-Matthias Lohr et al.

Summary: IgG4-RD is a fibro-inflammatory disorder involving multiple organs, with common manifestations including autoimmune pancreatitis and IgG4-related cholangitis, presenting symptoms such as jaundice, weight loss, and abdominal pain. Diagnosis is based on histology, imaging, serology, other organ involvement, and response to therapy. Treatment mainly involves glucocorticoids, with disease flares common at low doses or after tapering.

IgG4-Related Disease Mimickers and Diagnostic Pitfalls

Eduardo Martin-Nares et al.

Summary: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a multisystemic disease that can mimic other conditions. Each clinical phenotype has different differential diagnoses, and certain clinical, serological, radiological, and histological features can help differentiate IgG4-RD from mimicker conditions.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Coupled liquid biopsy and bioinformatics for pancreatic cancer early detection and precision prognostication

Jun Hou et al.

Summary: Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for successful management of pancreatic cancer. Liquid biopsies show potential in detecting early emergence of cancer cells, residual disease, and recurrence, as well as delineating the heterogeneity of pancreatic cancer. However, the performance of liquid biopsies varies across different studies and the diagnostic validity and accuracy still need further validation.

Multimodel magnetic resonance imaging of mass-forming autoimmune pancreatitis: differential diagnosis with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Huihui Jia et al.

Summary: The study assessed the value of multimodel MRI in differentiating mass-forming autoimmune pancreatitis from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Several MR findings and quantitative indexes were identified as significant for distinguishing the two conditions. Overall, multimodel MRI is valuable for characterizing and differentiating mass-forming autoimmune pancreatitis from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Advances in the Detection of Pancreatic Cancer Through Liquid Biopsy

Tian-Bao Yan et al.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer is associated with high mortality rates and is difficult to detect in its early stages. Surgical treatment is currently the most effective way to improve survival rates. Liquid biopsy offers the advantage of earlier tumor detection, but its effectiveness for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer remains unclear.

Pancreatic Cancer Signaling Pathways, Genetic Alterations, and Tumor Microenvironment: The Barriers Affecting the Method of Treatment

Darya Javadrashid et al.

Summary: Genetic alterations, particularly the K-Ras mutation, play a major role in the progression of pancreatic precursor lesions into PDAC. The tumor microenvironment and immune evasion are challenges in therapeutic approaches, with targeting signaling molecules and immune checkpoint inhibition showing promising results in pancreatic cancer treatment.

Distinguishing pancreatic cancer and autoimmune pancreatitis with in vivo tomoelastography

Liang Zhu et al.

Summary: Tomoelastography can accurately differentiate between PDAC and AIP by assessing the stiffness and fluidity properties of the pancreas. AIP showed lower stiffness and fluidity compared to PDAC, but higher than healthy pancreas, with no influence from secondary obstructive changes.
