Core Tip We propose the novel “stroma-nerve axis” framework, conceptualizing nerve fibers and stromal components as a functional unit driving pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma progression. By defining three hypothetical stroma-nerve axis activation subtypes (nerve-dominant, stroma-dominant, and balanced) and a conceptual SNA Activity Score, this review offers a unified theoretical model to explain therapeutic resistance. This perspective shifts the paradigm from single-target interventions to systematic “network dismantling” strategies, providing a roadmap for future stratified clinical trials.
