Targeting the tumour microenvironment to improve pancreatic cancer prognosis (EPC-TM-Net)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal human cancers with a five-year survival rate of less than 5%. Late presentation and a high level of resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs are among the major reasons for this dismal prognosis. The presence of the highest degree of desmoplasia among all solid tumours and the fact that chronic inflammatory pancreatic disease is associated with an increased ...
