From state-of-the-art treatments to novel therapies for advanced-stage pancreatic cancer

Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, Published online: 08 November 2019; doi:10.1038/s41571-019-0281-6Virtually all patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) will have disease progression, which is generally associated with dismal outcomes. However, novel targeted therapies and immunotherapies, selected based on the genomic and/or clinical features of patients’ tumours are beginning to improve the outcomes in subsets of patients. In this Review, the authors describe progress in novel therapies for patients with PDAC.
