Common metastasis pathways of pancreatic cancer and detection techniques of liquid biopsy. Tumour cells, molecules, and biomarkers originating from the tumour itself are considered significant factors in the metastasis of pancreatic cancer. The liver is the most frequent site of metastasis in pancreatic cancer, followed by the lungs and peritoneum. Currently, various detection techniques are employed to identify different biomarkers, aiming to acquire more tumour characteristics. Created with BioRender.com
