Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers with a very poor prognosis. Recently, there has been a significantincrease in research directed towards identifying potentialbiomarkers that can be used to diagnose and provideprognostic information for pancreatic cancer. Thesemarkers can be used clinically to optimize and personalizetherapy for individual patients. In this review, we focusedon 3 biomarkers involved in the DNA damage responsepathway and the necroptosis pathway: Chromodomainhelicase-DNA binding protein 5, chromodomain-helicase-DNA binding protein 7, and mixed lineage kinasedomain-like protein. The aim of this article is to reviewpresent literature provided for these biomarkers andcurrent studies in which their effectiveness as prognosticbiomarkers are analyzed in order to determine their futureuse as biomarkers in clinical medicine.
