简介:AbstractPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an extremely malignant disease, which has an extremely low survival rate of <9% in the United States. As a new hallmark of cancer, metabolism reprogramming exerts crucial impacts on PDAC development and progression. Notably, arginine metabolism is altered in PDAC cells and participates in vital signaling pathways. In addition, arginine and its metabolites including polyamine, creatine, agmatine, and nitric oxide regulate the proliferation, growth, autophagy, apoptosis, and metastasis of cancer cells. Due to the loss of argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1) expression, the key enzyme in arginine biosynthesis, arginine deprivation is regarded as a potential strategy for PDAC therapy. However, drug resistance develops during arginine depletion treatment, along with the re-expression of ASS1, metabolic dysfunction, and the appearance of anti-drug antibody. Additionally, arginase 1 exerts crucial roles in myeloid-derived suppressor cells, indicating its potential targeting by cancer immunotherapy. In this review, we introduce arginine metabolism and its impacts on PDAC cells. Also, we discuss the role of arginine metabolism in arginine deprivation therapy and immunotherapy for cancer.

简介:AbstractThe tumor microenvironment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is non-immunogenic, which consists of the stellate cells, fibroblasts, immune cells, extracellular matrix, and some other immune suppressive molecules. This low tumor perfusion microenvironment with physical dense fibrotic stroma shields PDAC from traditional antitumor therapies like chemotherapy and various strategies that have been proven successful in other types of cancer. Immunotherapy has the potential to treat minimal and residual diseases and prevent recurrence with minimal toxicity, and studies in patients with metastatic and nonresectable disease have shown some efficacy. In this review, we highlighted the main components of the pancreatic tumor microenvironment, and meanwhile, summarized the advances of some promising immunotherapies for PDAC, including checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptors T cells, and cancer vaccines. Based on our previous researches, we specifically discussed how granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor based pancreatic cancer vaccine prime the pancreatic tumor microenvironment, and introduced some novel immunoadjuvants, like the stimulator of interferon genes.

简介:AbstractPancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) are highly heterogeneous, and the management of pNENs patients can be intractable. To address this challenge, an expert committee was established on behalf of the Chinese Pancreatic Surgery Association, which consisted of surgical oncologists, gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, endocrinologists, radiologists, pathologists, and nuclear medicine specialists. By reviewing the important issues regarding the diagnosis and treatment of pNENs, the committee concluded evidence-based statements and recommendations in this article, in order to further improve the management of pNENs patients in China.
简介:AbstractIntroduction:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly cancer that disproportionately affects geriatric patients. Combination therapy with surgery and chemotherapy is associated with longer survival than medical treatment or supportive care. Preoperative selection of patients for surgical treatment, based on patient-specific factors such as sarcopenia, may help risk-stratify patients and improve outcomes. This paper aims to review the current literature on the impact of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity on patients undergoing treatment for PDAC.Outcomes:The impact of sarcopenia and sarcopenia obesity on perioperative and long-term outcomes after treatment for PDAC is variable. Sarcopenia has been associated with high-grade complications, longer length of hospital, and intensive care unit stays, more frequent discharge to skilled nursing facilities and decreased utilization of adjuvant therapy in patients treated with curative intent surgery. Sarcopenic obesity has been associated with more complications, high-grade complications, and hematologic toxicities. Patients with sarcopenic obesity may have even lower overall survival than sarcopenic patients.Discussion:The effect of a pre-treatment diagnosis of sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity on outcomes for patients undergoing treatment for PDAC remains unknown, in part due to the heterogeneity of studies and definitions. Prehabilitation programs including resistance exercise and nutritional supplementation have shown benefit in sarcopenic patients.Conclusion:PDAC remains a deadly disease and patient-specific factors such as sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity identified at the time of cancer diagnosis offer potential as risk stratification measures and points of intervention. Currently, a paucity of standardized measurement tools, definitions, and prehabilitation regimens limits the clinical implementation of such knowledge.
简介:AbstractA pancreatic cystic neoplasm (PCN) is a rare pancreatic disease. Malignant PCNs are usually identified incidentally while evaluating other lesions. However, PCNs are being identified more frequently owing to the increased use of abdominal imaging. Malignant PCNs have complicated and diverse biological behaviors, including various malignant risk factors, diverse molecular features, natural history, and complex pathological classifications. Although many diagnostic methods, such as cross-sectional imaging and endoscopic evaluation, have been developed, malignant PCNs are still difficult to differentiate from benign tumors. On searching for related articles in the recent decade, we found that some molecular biomarkers such as carcinoembryonic antigen could be useful for discriminating between malignant tumors and benign tumors. However, cytopathologic evaluation is the most useful method for differentiating between benign and malignant lesions. Although cytopathologic evaluation has a specificity of 100% for identifying malignancies, its accuracy is often hampered by the low cellularity of PCN cells in the cystic fluid. Herein, we review the progress in the use of cellular and molecular markers for the accurate identification of PCNs.
