1. Basement membrane collagens in pancreatic cancer : novel stroma-derived tumor markers and regulators of cancer cell growth
Abstract : Background: Among the common malignancies, pancreatic cancer has the shortest long-term survival. The aggressive, rapid, and infiltrative growth pattern of pancreatic cancer, together with the lack of specific symptoms, often leads to late diagnosis. READ MORE

2. Identification of tissue biomarkers of prognostic significance in pancreatic cancer
Abstract : Background: Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Lack of early detection strategies and therapeutic resistance are main contributors to the poor prognosis. Unfortunately, there are no tissue biomarkers available for the prognosis of pancreatic cancer in routine clinical use. READ MORE

3. Immunosuppressive and metastasis-promoting matrisome proteins in pancreatic cancer : the role of galectin 4 and SERPINB5
Abstract : In Sweden 1200-1300 people are diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) every year. Late diagnosis, together with poor treatment response and resistance to checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy, contributes to the poor prognosis of the disease. READ MORE

4. The identification and functional evaluation of novel cancer-associated fibroblast subtypes and matrisome proteins in pancreatic cancer
Abstract : Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy characterized by an extensive desmoplastic stroma. The stroma is the site of intricate communication between malignant cells and their surrounding environment. READ MORE

5. Pancreatic Cancer - Early Detection, Prognostic Factors, and Treatment
Abstract : Background: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death. Only about 6% of patients are alive 5 years after diagnosis. One reason for this low survival rate is that most patients are diagnosed at a late stage, when the tumor has spread to surrounding tissues or distant organs. READ MORE
