Pancreatic cancer, particularly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, stands as one of the most lethal cancers. Despite being only the ninth most common cancer in the United States, it is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. This discrepancy is due to its aggressive nature and the challenge of early diagnosis. By the time symptoms become apparent, the disease is often at an advanced stage, making it difficult to treat effectively.
