“…Therefore, pharmacologically inhibiting oncogenic KRAS signaling has been suggested for a long time and is still considered as the Holy Grail in the quest for targeted therapeutic approaches directed against pancreatic cancer by many authors [29]. Nevertheless, developing direct inhibitors of oncogenic KRAS signaling has been found to be extremely challenging and, as of to date, no suitable inhibitors are available for routine application outside of early clinical and preclinical studies [30,31,32,33,34,35,36]. Moreover, accumulating preclinical evidence already suggests that, although being a potentially powerful therapeutic approach, pharmacological inhibition of oncogenic KRAS signaling alone will likely not be sufficient to fully eradicate and cure metastatic pancreatic cancer [27,29].…”
