  • Pancreatic cancer remains as one of the most lethal malignancies. Resistance to conventional therapies has led to little improvement in the survival of pancreatic cancer patients over the past few decades. Immune-based treatment strategies for pancreatic cancer, such as immune-checkpoint inhibitors, therapeutic vaccines, and combination immunotherapies show promise. Many immunotherapies have been explored in clinical trials, but they have yet to show significant therapeutic effects. Nevertheless, immunotherapy is inevitably the future of pancreatic cancer cure. This article introduces the current research progress and bottlenecks of immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer and puts forward further optimization directions and solutions. We hope to provide a reference for the future use of immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer.
