Abstract Background: Cancer patients with similar clinical and pathologic characteristics may have different responses to treatments survival, which be attributable distinct molecular properties of their tumors. In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs), there is a pressing need identify prognostic biomarkers that could help us predict disease progression patient survival. Our group previously reported keratin17 (K17) expression hallmark PDACs the shortest Furthermore, some evidence...
Abstract Background: The 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer is extremely low compared with other cancers, although it has increased to 12% in 2023 the United States. 80% ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients are not eligible for surgical procedure, and unfortunately, PDAC refractory standard-of-care chemotherapy.

Abstract Background Interventions to promote physical activity among women breast cancer survivors (BCS) in low- middle-income countries are limited. We assessed the acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of a theory-driven, group-based dance intervention for BCS delivered Bogotá, Colombia. Methods conducted quasi-experimental study employing mixed-methods approach assess 8-week, 3 times/week group intervention. The effect on participants’ levels (measured by accelerometry), motivation...
