Pancreas transplantation from donors after cardiac death: an update of the UNOS database.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) plays an intrinsic role in promoting growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis in pancreatic cancer (PC) and serves as a mechanism underlying therapeutic resistance. Accordingly, we investigated the efficacy of bioactive phytochemicals in inhibiting radiotherapy (RT)-induced NF-κB activi...
