La gemcitabina se mantiene como el patrón de referencia en el tratamiento del cáncer de páncreas exocrino avanzado. Los nuevos agentes citotóxicos solos o en combinación con gemcitabina pueden mejorar el control del tumor y, posiblemente, aumentar la supervivencia.

EVALUACION DE NUEVOS AGENTES PARA EL CANCER DE PANCREAS

Resumen
El carcinoma del páncreas exocrino es la cuarta causa más frecuente de muerte por cáncer en el Reino Unido. La mayor parte de los casos se presentan como una enfermedad inoperable con un promedio de supervivencia de solamente unos pocos meses en pacientes con enfermedad metastásica. En la actualidad la gemcitabina es el tratamiento de elección en los pacientes con enfermedad avanzada. En esta revisión se remarca la necesidad de desarrollar nuevas estrategias terapéuticas que mejoren la supervivencia en esta patología y se discute la combinación de aquellos regímenes quimioterapéuticos evaluados previamente. El camino más promisorio para los estadios avanzados de la enfermedad parece ser el diseño de nuevos agentes terapéuticos que se obtengan de la profundización del conocimiento de la biología del cáncer pancreático.

EVALUATION OF NOVEL AGENTS IN PANCREATIC CANCER

Abstract
Carcinoma of the exocrine pancreas is the fourth commonest cause of cancer deaths in the UK. Most cases present with inoperable disease with a median survival of only a few months in patients with metastatic disease. Currently single-agent gemcitabine is the treatment of choice in patients with advanced disease. This review highlights the challenges in developing therapeutic strategies to improve survival in this disease and discusses the various combination chemotherapy regimens that have been evaluated. Exploiting our understanding of the biology of pancreatic cancer to design novel agents seems to hold the greatest promise in advanced disease.

Key words
Pancreas, gemcitabine, chemotherapy, molecular therapies
