Core Tip	The role of RON in cancer pathogenesis has received increased research attention. Hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) cancers have poor prognosis, being reported as having higher rates of cancer-related death because of their high rates of recurrence, metastasis, and invasiveness, and their lack of sensitivity to chemotherapy. In this review, we discuss how RON functions in HBP cancers pathogenesis, as well as its potential role as a therapeutic target in HBP cancers.
