Abstract:
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies resistant to conventional therapies.Most of the patients initially diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic disease which has poor prognosis.Despite chemotherapy regimens such as nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine or 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin/oxaliplatin,traditional therapeutic methods offer a modest survival benefit.Therefore,urgent need for exploring new immunotherapies turns to the center stage of treatments for pancreatic cancer treatment.Current researches on pancreatic cancer immunotherapy mainly focus on the following aspects:checkpoint inhibitors,vaccines,adoptive T cells therapy,monoclonal antibodies,and cytokines.In this article,we review the available studies concerning multiple aspects of immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer.
