Abstract

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has an extremely poor prognosis. To improve the prognosis, novel molecular markers and targets for earlier diagnosis and adjuvant and/or neoadjuvant treatment need to be identified. One of the key techniques that has been developed to achieve this goal is DNA microarray profiling, which is used to identify the mechanisms of deregulated molecular functions in pancreatic carcinoma cells. Objective: As several studies using microarrays have already been published, this review attempts to compare published data and crossvalidate the results. In addition, the applied techniques are discussed.
