"ONCOGENIC SYNAPSES: stromal regulators of PDAC metabolic support & innate immunosuppression"

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

1.  Understand the importance of stromal matrices in tumor progression
2.  Understand the role that pancreatic cancer associated fibroblasts (and corresponding matrices) play in nutritional support of pancreatic cancer cells
