Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis despite advances. Current diagnostic and treatment strategies offer limited success, highlighting the need for novel approaches to improve patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Gastroenterology

Context:

Pancreatic cancer remains a significant health challenge with a dismal prognosis, despite advancements in epidemiology and molecular genetics.
Current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies offer limited efficacy, necessitating a re-evaluation of existing algorithms.

Purpose:

To critically analyze published data on pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment.
To provide recommendations for diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for suspected pancreatic cancer patients.

Summary:

Diagnostic work-up involves ultrasound, MRI, and potentially laparotomy. Resective surgery offers cure in a minority of cases, with adjuvant chemotherapy showing some survival benefit.
Locally advanced, unresectable disease may benefit from combined radiochemotherapy. Systemic chemotherapy with Gemcitabine provides marginal survival benefits, while best supportive care is crucial for unresectable cases.
