The understanding of the regulation of apoptosis and necrosis, the two principal cell death pathways, is becoming exceedingly important in investigations of the pathogenesis and treatment of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. For example, in acute pancreatitis significant amounts of pancreatic necrosis are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Thus, determining the key steps regulating necrosis should provide insights into potential therapeutic strategies for improving outcome in these patients. On the other hand, in pancreatic cancer various survival mechanisms act to prevent cell death, resulting in promotion of tumor growth and metastasis. Resistance of pancreatic cancer to apoptosis is the key factor preventing responses to therapies. Investigations of the regulation of cell death mechanisms specific to pancreatic cancer should lead to improvements in our current therapies for this disease. The present review is designed to provide information about cell death pathways in pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer with reference to areas that need further investigation, as well as to provide measurement techniques adapted to pancreatic tissue and cells.
