    Abstract

    Editorial. See article in J. Gastroenterol. Hepatol. 2008; 23: 1852–1859 The study by Jiang and colleagues in this issue of the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology reports the relationship of neural growth factor (NGF), tyrosine kinase receptor A (TrkA), and perineural invasion in pancreatic cancer (PC). They hypothesize that these molecules may play a key role in perineural invasion, and hence, tumor progression and metastases. As a consequence, they may be clinically useful markers (biomarkers) of poor prognosis and potential targets for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
