Abstract
The treatment of PDAC is transitioning from uniform cytotoxic chemotherapy toward precision strategies guided by molecular identity and disease stage. RAS and PARP inhibitors and personalized neoantigen vaccination have created new options across metastatic and resectable disease. Chemotherapy timing relative to surgery and post-resection surveillance represent other important axes of precision oncology. Seven trials addressing these dimensions may collectively redefine PDAC treatment.
期刊介绍:
Med is a flagship medical journal published monthly by Cell Press, the global publisher of trusted and authoritative science journals including Cell, Cancer Cell, and Cell Reports Medicine. Our mission is to advance clinical research and practice by providing a communication forum for the publication of clinical trial results, innovative observations from longitudinal cohorts, and pioneering discoveries about disease mechanisms. The journal also encourages thought-leadership discussions among biomedical researchers, physicians, and other health scientists and stakeholders. Our goal is to improve health worldwide sustainably and ethically.
Med publishes rigorously vetted original research and cutting-edge review and perspective articles on critical health issues globally and regionally. Our research section covers clinical case reports, first-in-human studies, large-scale clinical trials, population-based studies, as well as translational research work with the potential to change the course of medical research and improve clinical practice.
