Management of metastatic pancreatic cancer: Current treatment options and potential new therapeutic targets

Francesco Sclafani et al. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a malignancy with a poor prognosis, with the majority of patients diagnosed with advanced disease on presentation. Treatment options remain limited with little progress over the last 40 years. This review will focus on the current management of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, with a discussion of new and future treatment strategies based on an improved understanding of tumour biology and mechanisms of pathogenesis.

Keywords: FOLFIRINOX; Gemcitabine; Nab-paclitaxel; Nanoliposomal irinotecan; Pancreatic adenocarcinoma; Pancreatic cancer; Stroma.
