Abstract
Cancer is bad, but pancreatic cancer is especially so. Underlying the aggressive behavior of pancreatic cancer is a highly patterned set of biologic rules for its development. The accumulating discoveries regarding the genetic basis of pancreatic cancer and developments in the clinical management of the disease provide hope for meaningful improvements in the understanding and control of this disease.
