Article Abstract

Pancreatic cancer (PaC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5% and high mortality rate in the world. LncRNAs have been showed to possess multiple biological functions in growth, differentiation, and proliferation, which play an important role in different biological processes and diseases, especially in the development of tumors. LncRNA UCA1, which is firstly identified in human bladder cancer, has been showed to be a tumor promoter in pancreatic cancer. Recent researches have showed that UCA1 might promote pancreatic carcinogenesis and progression, and correlate with drug resistance. In this review, we address the biological function and regulatory mechanism of UCA1 in pancreatic cancer, which might give a new approach for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

To develop a DeepSurv model for predicting survival in pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients, evaluating the benefit of surgical versus non-surgical treatment across different stages, including stage IV subcategories. Clinical data were extracted from the SEER database (2000-2020). Patients were randomly divided into a model-building group and an experimental group.

Significance: Tumor tissues exhibit contrast with healthy tissue in circular degree of polarization (DOP) images via higher magnitude circular DOP values and increased helicity-flipping. This phenomenon may enable polarimetric tumor detection and surgical/procedural guidance applications.

Aim: Depolarization metrics have been shown to exhibit differential responses to healthy and cancer tissue, whereby tumor tissues tend to induce less depolarization; however, the understanding of this depolarization-based contrast remains limited.

Introduction: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a highly aggressive malignancy characterized by a profoundly hypoxic tumor microenvironment, which fosters tumor progression and confers resistance to therapy The oncogenic regulator ID1has been implicated in PAAD malignancy, however, the mechanisms underlying hypoxia-induced stabilization of ID1 and the role of ubiquitin-mediated degradation remain poorly understood. Elucidating these pathways is essential for identifying novel therapeutic targets for PAAD.

Methods: In this study, we examined ID1 expression in PAAD tissues and cell lines using publicly available databases and in vitro models.
