A population of malignant transformation stem cells, called tumor stem cells, extremely resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs, has been identified as the origin of pancreatic cancer. In our study, we developed a new therapeutic model, characterized by the application of hyperthermal intraabdominal chemotherapy with Gemcitabine, in order to eliminate locoregional tumor stem cells and improve the prognosis of neoplastic pancreatic disease
