  Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most lethal cancer with disappointing prognosis not exceeding 4%for year-5 patients.Around 8,000 patients are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer annually and is the ninth most common cancer in the UK.Gemcitabine is the front line drug for pancreatic cancer,with relatively moderate therapeutic potency due to poor drug pharmacokinetics,high dosage required for effective therapy,and the development of drug resistance.Therefore,the development of new therapeutic modalities for pancreatic cancer is desperately needed.

Thermo-triggered drug release systems are widely used as drug carriers.Nevertheless,complicated carrier materials are required and their temperature response ranges are difficult to control[1].
Gemcitabine (GEM) is the most potent anti-cancer drug for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.However,it undergoes rapid deamination in the bloodstream and becomes biologically inactive.
