Stromal SPARC expression and patient survival after chemoradiation for non-resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Purpose: Pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) drive desmoplasia in pancreatic cancer. Our study analyzed both tumor and PSC, since interaction of these cell types may promote tumor progression. Results: SPARC was expressed predominantly in the peritumoral and distal stroma. SPARC in distal stroma correla...
