Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the 4 th leading cause of cancer-related deaths with high recurrence after surgery due to a paucity of effective post-surgical adjuvant treatments. DC-vaccines can activate multiple anti-tumor immune responses but have not been explored for PDAC treatment. No standard delivery route has also been established for DC vaccination, but intraperitoneal (IP) delivery is of particular interest because it allows increased DC-vaccine dosage and thus migration to draining lymph nodes. Here, we for the first time showed that IP delivery of DC-vaccines prior to tumor induction decreased tumor volume and prolonged survival in a PDAC mouse model. These approaches may be readily translated clinically for PDAC treatment as both DC vaccination and IP delivery are already used at the bedside for treatment or in clinical trials.
