Harnessing the Power of Plant Phytoconstituents for Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Predominantly affecting the geriatric population, it is rarely found in younger individuals and has a poor prognosis. Treating PDAC is particularly challenging due to the difficulty in detecting symptoms at early stages. Numerous risk factors contribute to cancer progression, and the complex microenvironment of PDAC further complicates treatment. A significant concern is the high relapse rate following therapy. Ongoing research continually seeks effective treatments for this stubborn cancer. This paper discusses the potential of herbal medicines and highlights the critical role scientists play in managing and treating PDAC.
