Reflections on depletion of tumor stroma in pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer characteristically has an extremely dense stroma, which facilitates chemoresistance by creating physical and biological barriers to therapeutic agents. Thus, stroma-depleting agents may enhance the delivery and efficacy of chemotherapy drugs. However, stroma-targeting therapy for pancreatic cancer is a double-edged sword, as the stroma can also inhibit tumor metastasis and malignancy. In-depth understanding of the critical role of the stroma in cancer metastasis may improve therapeutic approaches by allowing them to harness specific features of the stroma to treat pancreatic cancer.
