Evaluation of tumour perfusion and fibrosis in mouse models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, using MRI
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDA) is one of the most lethal solid malignancies primarily because it is staunchly resistant to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapies. Xenograft models are typically not sophisticated enough to reproduce the complex pathophysiology of the clinical disease. This is …
