Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted significant attention in cancer research as a result of their accessibility, tumor-oriented homing capacity, and the feasibility of auto-transplantation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current challenges in pancreatic cancer therapy, and we propose a novel strategy for using MSCs as means of delivering anticancer genes to the site of pancreas. We aim to provide a practical platform for the development of MSC-based therapy for pancreatic cancer.
间充质干细胞(MSCs)因其易于获取、肿瘤趋向性归巢能力以及自体移植的可行性,在癌症研究中引起了广泛关注。本综述全面概述了当前胰腺癌治疗所面临的挑战,并提出了一种利用 MSCs 将抗癌基因递送到胰腺部位的新策略。我们旨在为基于 MSC 的胰腺癌治疗的发展提供一个实用的平台。
