A recent study conducted by Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich analyzed data from five clinical trials on first-line systemic therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer. The study found that overall survival (OS) significantly improved over time, with patients treated from 2012 to 2017 having a median OS of 8.6 months compared to 7.0 months from 1997 to 2006. Factors such as Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, use of second-line treatment, and Union for International Cancer Control stage had a significant impact on OS, while age and gender did not. The study also found no survival benefit from combination therapy or regimens containing epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The dataset did not provide evidence for distinct clinical behavior based on age and sex subgroups. [Extracted from the article]

Type 2 diabetes arises from a combination of impaired insulin action and defective pancreatic [beta]-cell function. Classically, the two abnormalities have been viewed as distinct yet mutually detrimental processes. The combination of impaired insulin-dependent glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle and impaired [beta]-cell function causes an increase of hepatic glucose production, leading to a constellation of tissue abnormalities that has been referred to as the diabetes 'ruling triumvirate.' Targeted mutagenesis in mice has led to a critical reappraisal of the integrated physiology of insulin action. These studies indicate that insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue does not necessarily lead to hyperglycemia, so long as insulin sensitivity in other tissues is preserved. Additional data suggest a direct role of insulin signaling in [beta]-cell function and regulation of [beta]-cell mass, thus raising the possibility that insulin resistance may be the overarching feature of diabetes in all target tissues. I propose that we replace the original picture of a ruling triumvirate with that of a squabbling republic in which every tissue contributes to the onset of the disease., The classic view of the development of type 2 diabetes is that skeletal muscle (1) and adipose tissue (2) are resistant--be it on a genetic or on an environmental basis--to [...]
