Abstract
Aim: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a very aggressive type of cancer, in which targeted therapies have not yet been fully utilized. KRAS wild-type pancreatic adenocarcinoma tumors are associated with different genomic alterations in comparison to KRAS mutated pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Objective: This systematic review aims to provide a one-stop summary of all these alterations, their proposed targeted treatment and their effect on disease progression. Methods: An electronic search strategy was elaborated in the PubMed database between 2020 and January 2024. Results: 21 studies were included, and we found that the most frequent targetable genomic alterations in KRAS wild-type pancreatic adenocarcinoma were BRAF, EGFR, FGFR, MSI-H/dMMR, Her2/ERBB2 amplification, BRCA1/2 and other HRDs, and gene fusions like ALK, NTRK and NRG1.
