Phase II trial of primary radiation therapy and concurrent chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Even though the pathological background contributes to lymph node metastasis, the biological characteristics of tumors have also gained wide attention. In this study, the expression of the cadherin-catenin complex and p53 was studied in early gastric cancer. Their correlation with lymph node m...
