ABSTRACT
Pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma is an aggressive tumor which constitutes the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the USA. Despite the fact that surgery is an integral part of treatment, 5-year survival rates remain unfavorable, partly because of the complex genetic background, delayed diagnosis and also the absence of effective therapeutic approaches. To optimize surgery's results in recent years, the use of patients' genetic profile has been implemented through classification into subtypes; subtypes based on mutations which could efficiently lead oncologists to the path of targeted novel neoadjuvant regimens. This approach aims to achieve the most effective selection of patients undergoing surgery, to increase the number of potentially resectable tumors and also control micro-metastases, aiming to extend overall survival.
