Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, also known as PDAC, is a lethal disease that is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage with an extremely poor prognosis. Advancements in treatment regimens have improved survival rates, but early diagnosis is crucial for improving outcomes, and awareness of risk factors is vital for early diagnosis. Cytotoxic chemotherapy is the cornerstone of treatment for advanced or metastatic cases, although molecularly targeted therapies and immunotherapies may benefit select patients. Treatment selection depends on several factors, including patients' performance status and comorbidities, which should be considered alongside the efficacy and safety profiles of the different chemotherapy regimens.
This two-part programme provides an overview of the different first- and second-line chemotherapy options.
