## Abstract Pancreatic cancer is a major unsolved health problem. The estimated overall 5βyear survival rate of only 1β4% is due to aggressiveness of the disease and the lack of effective systemic therapies. Most pancreatic cancerβrelated deaths are due to the development of metastases, which repre

## Abstract Pancreatic adenocarcinoma has a rising incidence and a very poor survival rate. To develop new treatment strategies, extensive research is performed on animal models of pancreatic cancer. Orthotopic pancreatic tumors models, where the tumor is implanted into the pancreas, resemble the h
## Abstract We describe the development of an aggressive orthotopic metastatic model of esophageal cancer, which is visualized in real time with combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorescence imaging. The aim of the study was to describe the development of a novel model of metastatic tu
