Abstract: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma(PAC)is still a refractory human digest malignancies due to multifaceted causes,late diagnosis and insensitive to traditional chemo-and radio-therapy.Resistance to apoptosis could be one of the most relevant mechanisms for PAC to escape any non-surgical therapy.This review aims to clear up the main deregulated apoptosis signal pathways over the years and to find out the abnormal molecule target(s),and therefore,provide novel concepts for PAC molecular targeting therapy.

Key words: Apoptosis, Pancreatic cancer, Signal pathway, Target therapy
