Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, and the
third leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States. Although important
advances have been made in the last decade, the mortality rate of pancreatic ductal
adenocarcinoma has not changed appreciably. This review summarizes a rapidly emerging
