DESCRIPTION:Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive hu
 man malignanices with high lethality and poor prog
 nosis. A promising approach for targeted optimisat
 ion of treatment of pancreatic cancer for a specif
 ic individual is the ex vivo modelling of an indiv
 idual's response to treatment. Tissue engineering 
 offers a lot of potential on that direction. With 
 the use of appropriate biomaterials and micro-arch
 itecture one can mimic tissue elements in a reprod
 ucible and low cost way\, allowing ex vivo studies
  of standard and alternative treatments as well as
  the collection of important patient specific biol
 ogical information related to treatment response. 
 This talk is focusing on the application of differ
 ent types of biomaterials and structures for scree
 ning of pancreatic cancer.
