The tumor is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage and generally has a poor prognosis, with only 5% of patients surviving 5 years from the time of diagnosis. The stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis is a crucial factor for the prognosis; 25% of patients with localized tumors survive 3 years from diagnosis, compared to only 1% of those with generalized tumors. Radical surgical removal of the tumor (partial or total pancreatectomy) is a key factor in improving survival. Therefore, the topic is highly relevant to surgeons. Statistics on pancreatic carcinoma mainly focus on ductal adenocarcinoma, which is the most common and least favorable malignant tumor of the pancreas. This review focuses on ductal adenocarcinoma, its variants, and precancerous lesions.

The delineation of rare variants of ductal adenocarcinoma is justified based on genetic and morphological similarities and clinical relevance, as individual subtypes significantly differ in prognosis.
