Abstract
Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are commonly prescribed for pancreatic cancer patients. To investigate the correlation between BZDs and survival outcomes a recent study by Cornwell et al. found that lorazepam (LOR) correlates with poor survival. The mechanistic study shows that LOR increases interleukin 6 (IL6) expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts via GPR68.
