Oncogenic <i>KRAS</i>-Induced Feedback Inflammatory Signaling in Pancreatic Cancer: An Overview and New Therapeutic Opportunities
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains highly refractory to treatment. While the <i>KRAS</i> oncogene is present in almost all PDAC cases and accounts for many of the malignant feats of PDAC, targeting KRAS or its canonical, direct effector cascades remains unsuccessful in patie...
