Recommended approach to treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). When possible, all cases discussed at the Multidisiciplinary Cancer Conference, germline testing performed and clinical trials encouraged at all stages. Note: CA19.9 = carbohydrate antigen 19.9, FOLFOX = 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin, mFOLFIRINOX = modified FOLFIRINOX (5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin and oxaliplatin), MMRd = mismatch repair deficient, tx = treatment. *In patients who are deemed suitable for this regimen.
