Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pancreatic cancer is the most lethal of all solid malignancies, with a significant rise in deaths predicted by 2020. Currently, standard-of-care chemotherapeutics remain the best treatment option for patients.
In this Special Issue, emerging opportunities to personalise a patient’s treatment journey will be discussed. These include new strategies to detect the cancer and monitor a patient’s response by a blood test, our evolving understanding of molecular profiles and tumour sub-types, a new understanding of the complex role the tumour microenvironment plays in treatment responses, selection of appropriate patients for targeted therapies, and opportunities to better segregate patients in design clinical trials.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tracy Putoczki
Guest Editor
