Pancreatic cancer remains a difficult-to-treat malignancy, yet nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine prolongs survival. Closer examination of the mechanism of action of nab-paclitaxel hints at a role for targeting KRAS. We discuss how nab-paclitaxel may be active in pancreatic cancer and how this informs the way forward to better treat patients with pancreatic cancer.
