Research Abstract

Pancreatic cancer is one of a most fatal digestive cancer. Though the only curative treatment of pancreatic cancer is the surgical resection, most patients are not amenable to resection because they are already advanced when diagnosed.
We examined that whether the tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene delivery could induce the progression of pancreatic cancer. We demonstrate that TNF-alpha gene delivery using adenovirus vector suppressed cancer growth in vivo and vitro.
