Therapeutic targeting of STAT3 pathways in pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A systematic review of clinical and preclinical literature.

<h4>Background/objectives</h4>Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a highly lethal disease with increasing incidence. Due to high resistance, chemo/radiotherapy has limited success in pancreatic cancer and only marginally prolongs patient survival. Therefore, novel biomarkers and therapeu...
