Behind the Science: Behind Recent Research in Pancreatic Cancer

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month and a good time to reflect on recent advancements in the treatment of patients with these difficult to treat tumors. Since pancreatic tumors rarely produce symptoms at earlier stages of the disease, patients typically present with disease that is in advanced stages when it is most difficult to control. Additionally, options for systemic therapies are limited. The editors at CancerNetwork® met with some thought leaders specializing in the treatment of pancreatic cancer to discuss recent research that has the potential to significantly impact care and ongoing trials that clinicians should be aware of.
