Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for determining response to neoadjuvant therapy and metastasis-free survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma based upon the level of microRNA expression and optionally the presence of a protein cancer cell marker in biological samples such as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens using in situ hybridization and optionally an immunohistochemical assay.
