Molecular tumor boards in pancreatic cancer with liver metastasis: A case report.
Article in World journal of hepatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPancreatic cancer has limited treatment options and poor prognosis owing to late diagnosis and aggressive biology. Current therapies include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation; however, the outcomes remain suboptimal. Molecular tumor boards (MTB) enhance personalized treatment by analyzing genomic data to identify targetable mutations and recommend precise therapies. CASE SUMMARY: A 45-year-old male presented with jaundice in December 2022. Initial investigations revealed a pancreatic head mass and liver metastases; a liver biopsy confirmed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient received multimodal therapies, including gemcitabine, albumin-bound paclitaxel, nimotuzumab, and proton radiotherapy, which initially resulted in significant shrinkage of the pancreatic lesion and a reduction in liver metastases. However, the disease eventually progressed, prompting further evaluation at our MTB clinic. Genetic testing revealed a homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) score of 58 (HRD-positive) and a pathogenic BRCA2 mutation (p.T3033fs), suggesting sensitivity to PARP inhibitors and platinum-based therapies. Based on these findings, the patient was administered olaparib, which, combined with immunotherapy (tislelizumab, atezolizumab) and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil + leucovorin + oxaliplatin regimen), led to further stabilization and partial reduction of liver metastases. This case underscores the positive role of the MTB model in interpreting genetic profiles and guiding personalized treatment strategies for such patients.
conclusionThe patient's clinical course highlights the potential of MTB in providing significant benefits for advanced pancreatic cancer with liver metastases.
