Abstract:
The theme of the Society of Toxicologic Pathology Annual Symposium 2013 was "Toxicologic Pathology of the Digestive Tract and Pancreas." The last session focused on pancreatic toxicity and carcinogenesis. This overview highlights the various presentations in this session, focusing on pancreatic toxicologic pathology, responses of the pancreas to xenobiotics, and current understanding on pancreatic carcinogenesis. The objective of this symposium overview and the subsequent articles from this session is to enable the audience to develop a better appreciation for the pancreas as a target organ in toxicological studies.

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
