【Abstract】Objective  To investigate the relationship between the development of pancreatic cancer and inflammation, and the therapy strategy.
Methods  Related articles were reviewed.
Results  The pathogenesis of inflammation in pancreatic cancer development involves cytokines, NF-κB, COX-2, PPAR-γ, DNA damage, gene changes,etc. Based on these mechanisms some medications are under developing.
Conclusion  Accumulative effects of pancreatic inflammation may lead to DNA changes, and even pancreatic cancer development. Medications aimed at suppressing pancreatic inflammation may help with prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
