"[In the clinical diagnostic arena: the World Health Organization established a standard nomenclature for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, mucinous cystic tumors, intraductal mucinous hyperplasias, and solid pseudopapillary tumors; focal glandular differentiation may be commonly identified within pancreatic endocrine neoplasms (islet cell tumors) while not necessarily implying an unfavorable prognosis typical of ductal adenocarcinomas; positron emission tomography scanning may be used for evaluation of early tumor response to novel chemotherapeutic regimens; helical computed tomography (CT) is the state of the art in preoperative imaging for pancreatic cancer; neoadjuvant 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemoradiation in 39 resectable patients provided a median survival of 19 months, actuarial 4-year survival of 19%, and improved local tumor control; gemcitabine has shown promise in alleviating tumor-related symptoms with a significantly better clinical benefit response than single agent 5-FU (23.8 vs. 4.8%, p = 0.0022) based on change in pain intensity, daily analgesic consumption, performance status, and weight; a significant survival advantage was demonstrated in patients treated with conventional therapies whose tumors expressed p21WAF-1, an important inhibitor of cell cycle progression and downstream molecule of p53 and TGF-beta; a p21-adenovirus (rAD-p21) gene therapy resulted in significant growth inhibition of pancreatic cancer cell lines in tissue culture, and development of a successful SCID mouse-human pancreatic adenocarcinoma xenograft model provided an animal model for preclinical trials of rAD-p21.].
