Summary

Pancreatic neoplasms include different pathological entities with variable biological behavior and different treatment modalities. Surgery and adjuvant therapy are the cornerstones of the therapeutic approach; however, even after radical resection, the majority of patients experience disease recurrence and the prognosis of pancreatic cancer remains dismal.

A multimodal therapeutic approach, based on a combination of neoadjuvant therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and surgery, appears fundamental to improving the outcomes.

This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, entitled “Recent Advances in Pancreatic Neoplasms”, focuses on possible new strategies to treat pancreatic neoplasms.
