Adjuvant systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine for stage IV pancreatic cancer: a preliminary report of initial experience.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mitochondria have emerged as a major target for anticancer therapy because of their critical role in cancer cell survival. Our preliminary works have suggested that dihydroergotamine tartrate (DHE), an antimigraine agent, may have effects on mitochondria. METHODS:We examined the effect of DHE on the surviva...
