In September 2023, the European Society for Medical Oncology published Pancreatic cancer: ESMO Clinical Practice Guideline for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up in
Annals of Oncology. The guideline provides recommendations on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pancreatic cancer (PC). The guideline highlights the high-risk populations of PC and recommended screening methods, clarifies the diagnostic process of PC and various radiological and molecular biology tests, and mentions the appropriate treatment methods for different types of PC. This article makes an excerpt of this guideline and introduces related recommendations for the clinical treatment of PC, in order to provide a reference for clinical practice.
