Pancreatic cancer is frequently a lethal disease with an aggressive tumour biology often presenting with non-specific symptoms. Median survival is approximately 4 months with a 5-year survival of 13%. Surveillance is recommended in individuals with familial pancreatic cancer, specific mutations, and high-risk intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, as they are at high risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy combined with surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment. However, only a small subset of patients are candidates for surgery. Multi-agent chemotherapy has improved survival in the palliative setting for patients with metastatic disease, as (neo)adjuvant and induction therapy have in patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic. Given that pancreatic cancer is predicted to become the second leading cause of cancer-related death by 2030, novel therapies are urgently needed.
