Core Tip
Core Tip: Duodenal cancer, a rare gastrointestinal malignancy, requires multidisciplinary strategies. Endoscopic resection for early-stage tumors improves survival and reduces infection mortality. Advanced cases benefit from surgery and minimally invasive techniques. Chemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy enhance outcomes. Targeted therapies such as erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2)/phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase inhibitors and immunotherapy show transformative potential. Molecular profiling guides precision medicine. International collaboration is critical to optimize biomarker-driven strategies and improve survival. This review integrates innovations in surgery, systemic therapy, and immunotherapy, offering a roadmap for personalized management.
