Popis: Abstract Pancreatic cancer (PC) remains one of the deadliest malignancies worldwide. Chemoresistance is a significant clinical problem in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and numerous potential mechanisms have been demonstrated but much remains to be understood. To overcome the existing limitations in PC treatment, newer approaches targeting intrinsic or acquired mechanisms have been found to improve drug therapeutic effectiveness in PC patients. Here, we provide an update of the most recent findings and their implications for clinicians, and attempt to summarize the various aspects of different individualized novel therapies for PC that could most benefit metastatic PDAC patients.
