Progress in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage with distant metastasis.The five-year survival rate of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is extremely low,and systemic treatment can control symptoms and prolong lifespan.The treatment methods include surgery,chemotherapy,targeted therapy,immunotherapy,and radiation therapy.For metastatic pancreatic cancer,although the guidelines do not recommend surgical treatment,oligometastatic pancreatic cancer is different from multiple metastatic pancreatic cancer.Multimode treatment can improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients,and reduce side effects.This article reviews the research related to metastatic pancreatic cancer,and introduces the potential future of pancreatic cancer treatment.
