title: Update on pancreatic cancer.
abstract: Pancreatic cancer is one of the commonest causes of cancer death worldwide. Patients with pancreatic cancer benefit from resectional surgery (improved quality of life) and adjuvant treatment (enhanced survival). This review covers advances in the understanding of the development of pancreatic cancer, state-of-the-art clinical management and, finally, novel treatment and screening techniques.
