Core Tip |
The prognosis of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma is poor. Chemotherapy is palliative at best. Some patients benefit from treatment, while some have rapidly progressing treatment-resistant disease. There are several options for single-agent and combined treatment. Some patients may even gain benefit from treatment in second and even further lines and live substantially longer than average. Why is pancreatic cancer so resistant to treatment? |
