ABSTRACT
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors. Its early diagnosis and treatment are very difficult, and the mortality and recurrence rate are high. Chronic pancreatitis is an important risk factor for pancreatic cancer and has great potential to develop into pancreatic cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to study the mechanism of pancreatitis-cancer transformation for early diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that epigenetic modification plays an important role in pancreatitis-cancer transformation, and can provide an effective target for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. This article summarizes the role and mechanism of epigenetics in pancreatitis-cancer transformation based on the current research progress.
