Advanced Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Overview

Advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an exceptionally lethal, rapidly progressive gastrointestinal malignancy originating from the exocrine compartment of the pancreas. The disease is fundamentally defined by near-universal KRAS mutations and the formation of an intensely dense, hypovascular, and profoundly immunosuppressive desmoplastic stroma; this unique microenvironment acts as a formidable physical and biological barrier, rendering the tumor highly resistant to traditional chemotherapies, targeted agents, and immunotherapies. Because the disease progresses insidiously, the vast majority of patients present with unresectable or widely metastatic disease, precluding any curative surgical intervention. Consequently, the modern frontline standard of care is entirely palliative, relying on highly aggressive, multi-agent cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens—specifically FOLFIRINOX or the combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel—to transiently stall disease progression. While precision oncology has established a vital, albeit narrow, foothold—most notably the use of targeted PARP inhibitors for maintenance therapy in the small subset of patients harboring germline BRCA mutations—overcoming the profound intrinsic chemoresistance of advanced PDAC remains one of the most severe unmet clinical needs in modern oncology.
