Molecular pathways in periampullary cancer : An overview

Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Molecular alterations in oncogenes and tumor suppressors in various signaling pathways are basis for personalized therapy in cancer. Periampullary carcinoma behaves differently from pancreatic carcinoma both in prognosis and outcome, therefore it needs special attention. Pancreatic cancer have higher incidence of nodal spread and perineural &lymphovascular invasion suggesting it biologically more aggressive tumor compared to periampullary cancer. Since PAC tumors consist of heterogenous tissue of origin, they might contain different mutations in tumor associated genes and other changes in tissue composition among different subgroups clubbed together. Significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular nature of PAC in the previous two decades, and a large number of mutations and other genetic changes have been identified as being responsible for the disease. This review article targets to collate and discuss the molecular evolution of PAC and their implication in its outcome. As per literature, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K), and Wnt signaling are the most common pathways involved in PAC. Mutations in KRAS, TP53, CTNNB1, SMAD4 and APC genes were the most frequently reported. I-subtype resembles colorectal cancer while the morphology of PB-type shows close resemblance to pancreatic tumors. The frequency of driver gene mutations is higher in I-type compared to PB-type of PAC indicating I-type to be genetically more unstable. The genetic landscape of PAC obtained from WES data highlighted PI3/AKT pathway to be a primary target in I-type and RAS/RAF in PB-type.
