The tumor microenvironment (TME) is integral to cancer progression, impacting metastasis and treatment response. It consists of diverse cell types, extracellular matrix components, signaling molecules that interact promote growth therapeutic resistance. Elucidating the intricate interactions between cells TME crucial in understanding progression challenges. A critical process induced by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), wherein epithelial acquire mesenchymal traits, which enhance their motility invasiveness progression. By targeting various components TME, novel investigational strategies aim disrupt TME's contribution EMT, thereby improving efficacy, addressing resistance, offering a nuanced approach therapy. This review scrutinizes key players emphasizing avenues therapeutically components.

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most aggressive solid tumors. As a systemic disease, despite improvement multi-modality treatment strategies, prognosis pancreatic was not improved dramatically. For resectable or borderline patients, surgical strategy centered on improving R0 resection rate is consensus; however, role neoadjuvant therapy in patients and optimal chemotherapy with without radiotherapy were debated. Postoperative adjuvant gemcitabine/capecitabine mFOLFIRINOX recommended regardless margin status. Chemotherapy as first-line for advanced metastatic included FOLFIRINOX, gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, NALIRIFOX regimens whereas 5-FU plus liposomal irinotecan only standard care second-line therapy. Immunotherapy an innovative although anti-PD-1 antibody currently agent approved by MSI-H, dMMR, TMB-high tumors, which represent very small subset cancers. Combination strategies to increase immunogenicity overcome immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment may sensitize immunotherapy. Targeted therapies represented PARP KRAS inhibitors are also under investigation, showing benefits progression-free survival objective response rate.
