Growing Desmoplastic Three-Dimensional Pancreatic Cancer Spheroids from Co-Culture

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the toughest cancers to treat. Therefore, it is critical that pre-clinical models evaluating treatment efficacy are reproducible and clinically relevant. This protocol describes a simple co-culture procedure to generate reproducible, clinically relevant desmoplastic...

An Orthotopic Resectional Mouse Model of Pancreatic Cancer07:17

An Orthotopic Resectional Mouse Model of Pancreatic Cancer

In the clinical context, patients with localized pancreatic cancer will undergo pancreatectomy followed by adjuvant treatment. This protocol reported here aims to establish a safe and effective method of modelling this clinical scenario in nude mice, through orthotopic implantation of pancreatic cancer followed by distal pancreatectomy and...

Isolation of Stem Cells from Human Pancreatic Cancer Xenografts

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified in a number of malignancies. In this protocol we describe a flow cytometric method utilizing aldehyde dehydrogenase activity and CD44 and CD24 expression to isolate CSCs from human pancreatic adenocarcinoma xenografts. These viable cells can then be used in functional and analytical...

Bioluminescent Orthotopic Model of Pancreatic Cancer Progression

Improved understanding of pancreatic cancer biology is critically needed to enable the development of better therapeutic options to treat pancreatic cancer. To address this need, we demonstrate an orthotopic model of pancreatic cancer that permits non-invasive monitoring of cancer progression using in vivo bioluminescence...

Laparoscopic Radical Left Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Cancer: Surgical Strategy and Technique Video

Oncologically safe left pancreatectomy requires radical resection (R0), Gerota’s (perirenal) fascia resection, and adequate lymph node dissection. This study describes the technical details of laparoscopic radical left pancreatectomy (LRLP), used in the first international multicenter randomized trial comparing minimally invasive with open left pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer, the DIPLOMA...
