Abstract

DPC4/SMAD4 mutations are associated with aggressive pancreatic cancer. In this issue of Cell, Whittle et al. demonstrate that Runx3 expression combined with Dpc4/Smad4 status can predict the metastatic propensity of pancreatic tumors, providing valuable guidance for personalized therapy for patients with pancreatic cancer.
