High-Resolution Ex Vivo Elastography to Characterize Tumor Stromal Heterogeneity In Situ in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Conclusion: The results suggested that elastography could be utilized to predict drug penetration in PDAC tumors or assess response to biological modifying adjunct therapies. Significance: This study presents the first attempt to map out stiffness on a biologically relevant spatial scale across whole PDAC tumor slices with spatial resolution in the hundreds of microns.
