Core Tip Advanced pancreatic cancer (PC) is associated with poor prognosis. In this double-center retrospective cohort study, the median survival time in the Western medicine (WM) group was 10.67 months, while the integration of Chinese and WM group demonstrated an additional 2.24 months of survival. This breakthrough exceeded the conventional 12-month median survival time threshold for PC, nearing the survival outcomes achieved with targeted immunotherapy and combination chemotherapy, which are at the forefront of precision treatments. These findings suggest that integrated Chinese and WM models may provide survival advantages to patients with advanced PC.
