Hier eine aktuelle Studie zum Thema "schwache Durchblutung des Pankreas" (Bei Bedarf oben rechts auf Übersetzung klicken):
...Dr. Hingorani's work focuses on the vasculature (blood vessels) that are associated with pancreatic tumors. Unlike many other solid cancer types, pancreatic tumors do not create new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis. The formation of new blood vessels in other types of cancer ensures proper blood supply to the tumor, delivering nutrients and oxygen. Instead, pancreatic tumors are able to survive with poor vasculature and under very low oxygen conditions. Part of the reason that pancreatic tumors cannot make new blood vessels is because of the dense microenvironment, the tissue that surrounds and infiltrates the tumors. Dr. Hingorani and colleagues have also shown that the pressure from the thick microenvironment presses on existing blood vessels and blocks blood flow.
Since chemotherapeutics and other cancer drugs are administered intravenously, the poor blood supply to pancreatic tumors also impedes drug delivery. A mouse model of pancreatic cancer that Dr. Hingorani helped develop mimics this feature of human pancreatic cancer. Researchers have observed that when the mice are treated with gemcitabine, the standard of care chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, the drug is unable to reach the tumor...
