Core Tip The recent study by Lu et al identified Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, prognostic nutritional index, and triglyceride levels as independent predictors for progression-free survival and overall survival in elderly patients with advanced pancreatic cancer receiving programmed death-1 inhibitors. While the results still need further verification, this work provides important clues in this underexplored research domain.
