Deficiency of MTAP Is Frequent and Mostly Homogeneous in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinomas

MTAP expression loss is frequent, caused by homozygous deletion, and mostly homogeneous in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. Considering also their aggressive clinical behavior, pancreatic adenocarcinomas may represent an ideal cancer type for studying new drugs targeting MTAP-deficient cancer cells in clinical trials.

Abstract

MTAP expression loss is frequent, caused by homozygous deletion, and mostly homogeneous in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. Considering also their aggressive clinical behavior, pancreatic adenocarcinomas may represent an ideal cancer type for studying new drugs targeting MTAP-deficient cancer cells in clinical trials.
