Aneuploidy in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia. / Alina Raluca Morhan

Swansea University Author: Alina Raluca Morhan

Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has one of the most unfavourable prognoses and survival patterns. Pancreatic intraepithelial ductal neoplasias (PanINs) 1-3 are microscopic precursors which display genetic and epigenetic changes leading to adenocarcinoma. We investigated the chromosomal numeric chan...
