Core Tip Gemcitabine has been the standard chemotherapy drug for patients with pancreatic cancer; however, its effectiveness is limited. Therefore, various combination therapies involving gemcitabine and targeted drugs are being explored. A review of combination therapies based mainly on clinical studies has been published recently; therefore, this minireview focuses on the findings of basic studies and discusses combinations of gemcitabine and targeted drugs, combinations of targeted drugs, combinations of natural products and anti-cancer agents, including gemcitabine, and combinations among natural products.
