What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Abstract Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a highly lethal malignancy with limited long-term survival despite advances in surgery and systemic therapy. Patients The population of interest comprises patients with PDAC characterized by targetable molecular alterations and biologically distinct transcriptomic subtypes. Methods We performed a narrative review of landmark and contemporary clinical trials, translational studies, and emerging molecular-classification platforms relevant to precision oncology in PDAC. Results Growing understanding of PDAC molecular biology has identified putative genetic mutations, including homologous recombination repair deficiency, mismatch repair deficiency, and mutated KRAS, enabling the development of targeted therapies and precision treatment strategies. Concurrently, transcriptomic profiling has revealed biologically distinct molecular subtypes associated with differences in prognosis and therapeutic response. Emerging tools such as molecular classifiers, deep learning models, and multiomic platforms may further refine patient selection and treatment personalization. Conclusions This review highlights contemporary efforts of novel targeted therapies, ongoing advances in molecular subtyping, and the evolving role of precision oncology in improving outcomes for patients with PDAC.
