Overview
Duktální adenokarcinom pankreatu (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma – PDAC) je obávanou malignitou s velice nízkým 5letým přežíváním i přes veškeré snahy o zdokonalení léčebných strategií. V současnosti je včasná detekce považována za nejúčinnější způsob, jak zlepšit přežití, jelikož pouze radikální resekce představuje kurativní potenciál. PDAC se dělí do čtyř kategorií podle rozsahu onemocnění: resekabilní, hraničně resekabilní, lokálně pokročilý a metastatický. Většina pacientů je bohužel diagnostikována s lokálně pokročilým nebo metastatickým onemocněním, a tím pádem není způsobilá pro kurativní resekci. To je dáno především absencí průvodních příznaků či jejich nevýrazností v době, kdy ještě onemocnění není lokálně pokročilé. Vhodná indikace a rychlá dostupnost adekvátních diagnostických nástrojů je nicméně rovněž kritickým bodem vzhledem k agresivní povaze onemocnění. Nákladově efektivní biomarker s vysokou specificitou a senzitivitou umožňující včasnou detekci PDAC bez potřeby pokročilých a invazivních metod stále chybí. Diagnostika tak zůstává závislá na radiologických metodách a endoskopické ultrasonografii. V naší přehledové práci shrnujeme nejnovější epidemiologická data, rizikové faktory, klinickou manifestaci a současné diagnostické trendy se zaměřením na sérové biomarkery a zobrazovací modality. Kromě toho popisujeme aktuální terapeutické postupy.
