Treatment with Secretin and a Cholecystokinin-Like Peptide in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer

Abstract: Secretin and cholecystokinin (CCK) have trophic effects on the pancreas and may therefore have a place in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The present study was performed to examine whether these hormones may cause harm in patients with pancreatic cancer receiving cytostatics. The cytostatics were 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin, and mitomycin C(FAM). Secretin plus Thr28Nle31CCK25-33, in doses stimulating pancreatic secretion to about 60% of maximal, were given as a continuous 6-day intravenous infusion just bef… Show more

“…There was no increase in side effects including pancreatitis, and there was no evidence of increased tumor growth induced by CCK and not compensated for by FAM. 18 Further studies are warranted to determine the role of CCK and its antagonists in the adjuvant treatment of pancreatic cancer.…”
