Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Overview

Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most prevalent and lethal form of pancreatic cancer, characterized by originating in the exocrine duct cells and having an exceptionally poor prognosis due to its typically asymptomatic early stages and late diagnosis in locally advanced or metastatic phases. Biologically, PDAC is driven by near-universal mutations in the KRAS oncogene, coupled with frequent inactivation of tumor suppressors like CDKN2A, TP53, and SMAD4. A hallmark challenge is the extensive, dense, and immune-suppressive desmoplastic tumor microenvironment (TME) that creates a physical barrier limiting drug delivery. Diagnosis relies on imaging and biopsy to confirm the cancer and determine staging, which dictates treatment strategy. While surgical resection (e.g., the Whipple procedure) offers the only chance for cure in the minority of eligible patients, the backbone of systemic treatment involves potent chemotherapy regimens like FOLFIRINOX, with targeted therapies limited to rare subsets, such as PARP inhibitors for patients with BRCA mutations.
