Deskripsi

Chronic pancreatitis is linked with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Here the authors show that genomic instability due to the loss of BRCA1 associated protein-1, frequently observed in patients with pancreatic cancer, is associated with chronic pancreatitis and predisposes to cancer development.
