Understanding which patients will respond to FOLFIRINOX therapy is important for clinical outcome. Here, the authors show that the MIR1307 is increased pancreatic cancer cell lines and inhibition of the microRNA sensitises cells to treatment.’ stratifying patients to achieve the best clinical outcome. Here, the authors show that the MIR1307 is increased in a subgroup of human pancreatic cancers and inhibition of the microRNA in in vitro and in vivo models of pancreatic cancer sensitises cells to treatment.
