Pancreatic cancer is one of the aggressive cancers that originate in the tissues of the pancreas and rapidly spreads to the nearby organs. Pancreatic cancer is the 12th most commonly occurring cancer in the world. According to the American Cancer Society, ~55,440 patients in the US are expected to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2018. Moreover, the ACS also reports that pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of death related to cancer in the US and is expected to be the second leading cause of death by 2020. According to Cancer Research UK, approximately 9,921 new cases of pancreatic cancer were diagnosed in the UK in 2015, while 8,912 patients died due to same cancer. The cancer is almost always fatal and thus demands potential therapies for the patients’ treatment.
