DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Pancreatic and Bile Duct Cancer Drug Development Pipeline Review, 2018" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report Pancreatic and Bile Duct Cancer Drug Development Pipeline Review, 2018 provides an overview of the pipeline landscape for pancreatic and bile duct cancer. It provides comprehensive information on the therapeutics under development and key players involved in therapeutic development for pancreatic and bile duct cancer, and features dormant and discontinued products.
Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells are found in the tissues of the pancreas, a large gland situated in the abdominal cavity that is responsible for the secretion of digestive fluids and insulin.
Signs and symptoms include upper abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes (jaundice), loss of appetite, weight loss, depression and blood clots. Predisposing factors include age, gender, smoking, diabetes and family history. Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. There are 759 products in development for this indication.
Bile duct cancer or cholangiocarcinoma are tumors that occur in the bile ducts, a series of tubes in the biliary tract that are essential for the secretion of bile, which plays an important role in digestion. Symptoms include discomfort in the abdomen, loss of appetite, fevers and weight loss. Treatment includes chemotherapy and radiation therapy. There are 133 products in development for this indication.
Molecular targets acted on by products in development for pancreatic and bile duct cancer include vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, programmed cell death protein 1 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.
