Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the effectiveness of combining seed implantation (I) with the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine (GEM) in treating advanced pancreatic cancer, specifically on PANC-1 cells.
  • Results show that this combination therapy significantly inhibits cell growth more than either treatment alone, enhances radiation-induced cell death (apoptosis), and causes a stoppage in the cell cycle.
  • The increased apoptosis is linked to a higher Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, indicating the combined treatment could be a promising approach for managing pancreatic cancer.
