Consensus statement on the use of systemic therapies in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in Asia.
Review in ESMO gastrointestinal oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Systemic therapies, primarily cytotoxic chemotherapies, are the mainstay treatment option for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) alongside surgery. Several guidelines exist for managing PDAC within Asia, but recommendations for systemic therapies can differ significantly. Consequently, geographical areas across Asia not covered by international or regional guidelines often have disparate care for PDAC patients. To address this, we utilised the Delphi method to establish a collective opinion on the optimal use of systemic therapies for PDAC patients in Asia. Fourteen comprehensive consensus recommendations are reported. For resectable/localised and borderline resectable disease, recommendations were developed on specific chemotherapeutic regimens for adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings and best practice monitoring. Recommendations on downstaging/conversion therapy and therapy options were developed for locally advanced disease. In metastatic disease, recommendations for first- and second-line therapy options were developed, covering overall treatment strategy and best supportive care. In addition, consensus recommendations for molecular and genomic testing in PDAC were developed. To our knowledge, we report the first consensus statement on the optimal use of systemic therapies in PDAC for a broad, cross-border Asian population. These expert recommendations may serve as a starting point to improve the standardisation of treatment practices and care for PDAC patients within Asia.
