Primarily affecting older adults, it most commonly develops in the head of the pancreas and is pathologically characterized by an extensive desmoplastic stroma, invasive duct-like structures, and frequent somatic alterations such as KRAS mutations Due to a lack of early specific symptoms, patients frequently present at advanced stages with painless obstructive jaundice, unintentional weight loss, epigastric pain radiating to the back, vascular encasement, or distant metastatic disease
