Pancreatic cancer: Classifying pancreatic cancer using gene expression profiling

Michael Ayars et al. Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2015 Nov.

Abstract

Despite some advances in our understanding of the molecular characteristics of pancreatic cancer, much more progress is needed. In a new study, RNA profiling of pancreatic cancers was used to identify gene signatures of tumour cells and stromal cells to help predict patient outcomes.
