Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a rapidly progressive malignancy that is highly resistant to current chemotherapeutic modalities and almost uniformly fatal. We show that a novel targeting strategy combining oncolytic adenoviral mutants with the standard cytotoxic treatment, gemcitabine, can markedly improve the anticancer potency. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Adenoviral mutants with the E1B19K gene deleted with and...
