Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma represents the most common malignant tumor of the pancreas. Despite substantial research efforts and gradual diagnostic and therapeutic improvements, its prognosis remains dismal. In accordance with the current German, European, and US guidelines, this CME-article provides a comprehensive review of the disease. In addition, selected up-to-date aspects of epidemiology, etiopathology, genetics, and basic principles of diagnostics and therapy including potential future therapeutic options are discussed.

Keywords: Diagnosis; Etiopathology; Genetics; Pancreatic cancer; Therapy.
