Addiction of cancer cells to survival pathways has been well documented in most of the cancer models including the pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive tumors with an average five year survival rate of less than 5% (Jemal A et al., 2010). It is associated with high expression levels of various survival pathways, such as KRAS, STAT3, AKT, NFkB, HDAC etc. Furthermore, pancreatic cancer acquires resistance to various apoptosis signals such as FasL, TRAIL. In addition, pancreatic cancer gets resistance to various chemo-drugs including gemcitibine by altering survival pathways.
