A landmark six-year study involving over 2,000 patients at 28 institutions demonstrates that next-generation sequencing of ERCP-obtained specimens achieves 82% sensitivity for neoplastic bile duct strictures, nearly doubling traditional pat
This review evaluates the prognostic value of Major Pathologic Response (MPR) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, analyzing its impact on survival and its potential to guide personalized adjuvant treatment strategies.
This review synthesizes landmark clinical evidence regarding the nutritional adequacy of the EAT-Lancet diet, the superiority of PAXG chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer, and the efficacy of methoxyflurane for prehospital acute pain managemen
This review synthesizes findings on how Medicaid expansion timing influenced surgical resection rates and 2-year mortality for pancreatic cancer, revealing significant survival benefits alongside persistent socioeconomic disparities.
The Phase 3 CASSANDRA trial reveals that the four-drug PAXG regimen significantly improves event-free survival compared to mFOLFIRINOX in patients with resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, potentially redefi
A prospective study of 18,838 adults reveals that glycemically defined new-onset diabetes (GNOD) significantly increases the 3-year risk of pancreatic cancer, with notable racial variations and a critical 8-month diagnostic window.
A Phase II trial demonstrates that the THAG regimen—combining immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy—significantly improves R0 resection rates and survival in patients with BRPC and LAPC, supported by IL-6 and ctDNA biomarker insight
A Phase Ib/II trial evaluating the combination of XL888 (an HSP90 inhibitor) and pembrolizumab in metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma found that while the regimen was safe and induced systemic immune modulation, it failed to alter the tumo
Researchers have developed ICyM2, a carrier-free nanoaggregate that combines mitochondrial phototherapy with STING activation. This platform effectively remodels the dense pancreatic cancer stroma, triggers immunogenic cell death, and syner
A phase 1/2 trial demonstrates the safety and clinical potential of nonengineered, multiantigen-targeted T cell therapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, highlighting durable T cell persistence and antigen spreading as key correlates of
A randomized phase 2 trial demonstrates that primary prophylaxis with peg-GCSF significantly reduces grade 3-4 and febrile neutropenia in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer receiving mFOLFIRINOX, while improving patient-reported q
A large-scale cohort study demonstrates that mixed-type IPMNs have a three-fold higher prevalence of high-risk mutations compared to branch-duct variants, and that cyst fluid NGS provides superior diagnostic specificity over traditional cli
In the randomized phase II PASS‑01 trial of first‑line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), progression‑free survival was similar between modified FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine/nab‑paclitaxel, but overall survival and safety tre
In TRYBECA‑1, adding erythrocyte‑encapsulated L‑asparaginase (eryaspase) to second‑line chemotherapy did not improve overall survival, progression‑free survival, or response rates in advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; adverse events
A global phase I/II study of oral GFH375 in previously treated KRAS G12D mutant PDAC showed a 40.7% ORR, 96.7% DCR, median PFS 5.52 months, and manageable toxicity, supporting ongoing phase III evaluation.
In the multicentre phase 3 PACT‑21 CASSANDRA trial, preoperative PAXG significantly prolonged event‑free survival versus mFOLFIRINOX in resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, with comparable high‑grade toxici
The PREOPANC-2 trial compared neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine-based chemoradiotherapy in resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, finding no significant overall survival difference between the two regimens.
The DIPLOMA trial demonstrates that minimally invasive left pancreatectomy for resectable pancreatic cancer offers comparable long-term survival outcomes to open surgery, validating its oncologic safety and supporting its use in clinical pr
This Mendelian randomization study reveals a surprising association between higher oily fish consumption and increased pancreatic cancer risk, highlighting new directions for dietary guidance and pancreatic disease prevention.
The CONKO-007 trial reveals that adding chemoradiotherapy after induction chemotherapy increases margin-negative (R0) resections in surgically treated unresectable pancreatic cancer but does not improve overall survival.
