Molecular characterisation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with NTRK fusions and review of the literature

Michael J. Allen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and genomic characteristics of NTRK fusions in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Among 400 patients, 3 patients were found to have NTRK fusions. NTRK fusions are rare in PDAC but detection is vital for emerging therapeutic options.

Oncological Outcome of Conversion Surgery After Preoperative Chemotherapy for Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Thomas Hank et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the outcome of conversion surgery in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer and identify patients who may benefit from this approach. The findings showed that patients with complete pathological response of metastases after surgery had better survival rates, and adjuvant chemotherapy provided an additional survival advantage.

Portal Vein Resection in Pancreatic Cancer Surgery: Risk of Thrombosis and Radicality Determine Survival

Thilo Hackert et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of pancreatic cancer surgery with concomitant portal vein resection (PVR), focusing on the PVR type according to the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS). Surgery offers the only chance for cure in pancreatic cancer, and PVR is often performed for borderline or locally advanced tumors. The results showed that postoperative morbidity correlates with the reconstruction type, and when radical resection is achieved, thrombosis risk is outweighed by beneficial overall survival times of nearly 2 years.

Actual Five-year Survival After Upfront Resection for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Who Beats the Odds?

Oliver Strobel et al.

Summary: This study investigated the actual five-year survival rate of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with a strategy of upfront surgery and adjuvant therapy. The results showed that the actual five-year survival rate for PDAC patients who underwent upfront surgery and adjuvant therapy was 18.8%. Tumor grading, number of positive lymph nodes, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia, and vascular resections were found to be independent factors associated with the five-year survival rate.

The trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of multiple experimental arms compared to a control arm in PDAC patients. Patients are divided into different cohorts based on clinical stage and treatment history, and adaptive randomization rules are applied within each cohort. The trial also includes multiple correlative studies on tissue, blood, and imaging.

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

The role of neoadjuvant therapy for resectable pancreatic cancer remains uncertain

Christoph Springfeld et al.

Summary: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients typically have poor prognosis, and even after curative resection, most patients experience disease relapse and ultimately die. However, adjuvant chemotherapy has significantly improved outcomes for patients eligible for surgery. The PREOPANC trial provides evidence supporting neoadjuvant therapy for patients with borderline resectable PDACs, but not for those with resectable tumors.

Summary: This study provides a high-resolution molecular landscape of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using single-nucleus RNA sequencing and whole-transcriptome digital spatial profiling. It identifies recurrent expression programs in malignant cells and fibroblasts, including a newly identified neural-like progenitor malignant cell program associated with poor prognosis. The study also reveals three multicellular communities with distinct contributions from malignant, fibroblast and immune subtypes. This refined molecular and cellular classification can guide clinical trials and therapeutic targeting for specific cellular phenotypes and multicellular interactions.

It, together with other resection strategies like artery first maneuver and mesenterico-portal venous bypass first, enables tumor resection in locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Periadventitial dissection of the superior mesenteric artery for locally advanced pancreatic cancer: Surgical planning with the halo sign and string sign

Joseph R. Habib et al.

Summary: Most patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer deemed nonoperative candidates can now be considered for operative resection with periadventitial dissection of the SMA, thanks to improved systemic disease control from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Preoperative imaging is crucial in triaging patients, with the goal of identifying those with encased SMA that can undergo surgical intervention. This approach has expanded operative methods and offers potential for improved outcomes in pancreatic cancer patients with historically limited treatment options.

Summary: Through large-scale integration of histology-guided regional multiOMICs with clinical data and patient-derived preclinical models, we identified distinct subTMEs in the human pancreatic tumor microenvironment (TME) that are linked to tumor immunity, subtypes, differentiation, and treatment response. Reactive subTMEs rich in coordinated fibroblast communities were immune hot, while matrix-rich deserted subTMEs harbored fewer activated fibroblasts but showed chemoprotective features. These subTMEs originated in fibroblast differentiation trajectories and produced patient-specific heterogeneity tightly linked to malignant biology.
