Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: The Vision of Heracles.

Cancer Cell 44, 1721-1726 (2026)
DOI
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains among the deadliest malignancies, as tumors evolve faster than therapies. Resistance is ecological, not merely KRAS driven, involving overlooked players like high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs), peripancreatic fat, stromal mechanics, myeloid-neural circuits, metabolic rewiring, and systemic host responses. We propose precision interception targeting PanIN/intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) biology, spatial-functional-proteogenomic classification beyond transcriptomics, the Heracles Protocol (measure, prime, strike, and adapt), and integrated technologies from AI pathology to exosomal delivery and CRISPR-based synergy mapping, together making PDAC more tractable.
