Abstract: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the deadliest solid malignancies.Although surgery remains the only curative treatment,more than 80％ of patients suffer relapse after resection.More and more data evidence that PC is a systemic disease suggests systemic therapy plays crucial roles in the multidisciplinary treatment.Thus,new treatments are urgently needed for PC patients.Recently,a growing number of novel and promising drugs are being evaluated in preclinical and clinical settings.Herein,we reviewed the progress in the new cytotoxic and targeted therapy for metastatic PC.
