3:09 PM Abstract No. 191 Development of a transgenic pig model of pancreatic cancer
To develop a porcine model of pancreatic cancer, which can be used to test new locoregional therapies. Pigs have similar physiology, drug dosing, and immune response to humans (unlike mice and other small animals). Locoregional therapy in pigs can be performed using the same size catheters and devices as humans.
