Core Tip	The substance P (SP)/neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor system plays an important role in pancreatic cancer progression. Pancreatic cancer cells overexpress NK-1 receptors and SP promotes angiogenesis and the proliferation and the migration of pancreatic tumor cells. By contrast, NK-1 receptor antagonists, in a concentration-dependent manner, inhibit pancreatic cell proliferation (tumor cells die by apoptosis), have antiangiogenic properties in pancreatic cancer and block the migratory activity of pancreatic tumor cells. The antitumor action is mediated through the NK-1 receptor. Thus, the NK-1 receptor could be a new promising therapeutic target in pancreatic cancer and NK-1 receptor antagonists could improve pancreatic cancer treatment.
