Abstract

Pancreatic cancer remains a major health concern, being among the deadliest forms of cancer with over 80% of the patients presenting with metastatic disease. According to the American Cancer Society, for all stages of pancreatic cancer combined, the 5-year survival rate is less than 10%. Genetic research on pancreatic cancer has generally been focused on familial pancreatic cancer, which is only 10% of all pancreatic cancer patients. This study focuses on finding genes that impact the survival of pancreatic cancer patients which can be used as biomarkers and potential targets to develop personalized treatment options. We used cBioPortal platform using NCI-initiated The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset to find genes that were altered differently in different ethnic groups which can serve as potential biomarkers and analyzed the genes’ impact on patient survival. MD Anderson Cell Lines Project (MCLP) and genecards.org were also utilized to identify potential drug candidates that can target the proteins encoded by the genes. The results showed that there are unique genes that are associated with each race category which may influence the survival outcomes of patients, and their potential drug candidates were identified.
