Pancreatic cancer remains to be a tumour type with a notoriously dismal prognosis. In recent years, however, progress has been made to improve the outcome of these patients. This includes the use of effective adjuvant treatments for patients with resected tumours and the introduction of effective second-line treatment options for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. In addition to this, steps are being taken towards the use of targeted agents in molecularly selected subgroups of pancreatic cancer patients. In this new episode of BJMO oncotalks, Professor Ivan Borbath, digestive oncologist at the Cliniques Universitaires St Luc in Brussels, will talk us through the current pancreatic cancer treatment paradigm with a particular focus on emerging treatment options that are on the horizon for these patients.
