Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly malignancy that affects nearly 50,000 patients each year. The overall 5-year survival rate for this malignancy remains the lowest of any cancer at around 7% due to limited diagnostic methods, disease aggressiveness and a lack of targeted therapeutic interventions. This review highlights the successes achieved over the past several decades as well as the significant cellular and molecular hurdles that remain in combatting this deadly disease at a translational level.
胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)是一种致命的恶性肿瘤,每年影响近50000名患者。由于诊断方法有限、疾病侵袭性强以及缺乏靶向治疗干预措施,这种恶性肿瘤的总体5年生存率仍然是所有癌症中最低的,约为7%。本综述强调了过去几十年所取得的成功,以及在转化层面抗击这种致命疾病方面仍然存在的重大细胞和分子障碍。
