[Abstract] It is well known that pancreatic ductal adeno-carcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with very poor prognosis, and most were first diagnosed with local advancement or metastasis. Considering its poor response to traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, it is crucial that the patients can be diagnosed and treated at an early stage. Inflammation has a tight relationship with tumorigenesis and tumor progression, and chronic aseptic inflammation of pancreas is one of the most important risk factors of pancreatic cancer. As nanotechnology shows great promise against malignant diseases like pancreatic cancer, more and more researches were conducted to exploit the characteristics of nanocarriers for their application in both diagnosis and treatment of malignancies. In this review, we summarize the role of inflammation in PDAC and its significance to both diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
