Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal malignancies with poor prognosis and patients become chemoresistant to current therapies, supporting further investigations to identify new therapeutic regimens in the treatment of this condition. Preclinical and clinical studies now appear to support the role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the regulation of tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis in different malignancies including pancreatic cancer. These studies suggest that RAS blockers; Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs); could have anti-carcinogenic effects and improve clinical outcomes in the management of pancreatic cancer. Here we provided an overview of ACE inhibitors and ARBs as a potential therapeutic option in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
