Pancreatic cancer kills millions of people worldwide each year and is one of the most
prevalent causes of mortality that requires prompt therapy. A large number of people suffering
from pancreatic cancer are detected at an advanced stage, with incurable and drug-resistant tumor,
hence the overall survival rate of pancreatic cancer is less. The advance phase of this cancer
is generated because of expression of the cancer-causing gene, inactivation of the tumorsuppressing
gene, and deregulation of molecules in different cellular signalling pathways. The
prompt diagnosis through the biomarkers significantly evades the progress and accelerates the
survival rates. The overexpression of Mesothelin, Urokinase plasminogen activator, IGFR, Epidermal
growth factor receptor, Plectin-1, Mucin-1 and Zinc transporter 4 were recognized in the
diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Nanotechnology has led to the development of nanocarriersbased
formulations (lipid, polymer, inorganic, carbon based and advanced nanocarriers) which
overcome the hurdles of conventional therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy which causes
toxicity to adjacent healthy tissues. The biocompatibility, toxicity and large-scale manufacturing
are the hurdles associated with the nanocarriers-based approaches. Currently, Immunotherapybased
techniques emerged as an efficient therapeutic alternative for the prevention of cancer.
Immunological checkpoint targeting techniques have demonstrated significant efficacy in human
cancers. Recent advancements in checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive T cell therapies, and cancer
vaccines have shown potential in overcoming the immune evasion mechanisms of pancreatic
cancer cells. Combining these immunotherapeutic approaches with nanocarriers holds great
promise in enhancing the antitumor response and improving patient survival.
