Clinical impact of different exosomes’ protein expression in pancreatic ductal carcinoma patients treated with standard first line palliative chemotherapy

Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is associated to dismal prognosis despite the use of palliative chemotherapy, partly due to the lack of knowledge of biological processes underlying disease progression. Exosomes have been identified as biomarkers sources in different cancer types. Aim of the study was to analyse the contents of circulating exosomes in patients with pancreatic cancer who received palliative chemotherapy.
