Abstract: Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor of digestive system with hidden onset and poor prognosis,which is characterized by difficult early diagnosis and short survival time in the advanced stage.The tumor microenvironment(TME)of pancreatic cancer is often accompanied by the infiltration of a large number of immune cells.As an important part of the TEM,tumor-associated neutrophils(TANs)play an important role in the process of tumor.Relevant studies have shown that TANs play multiple roles in the TME of pancreatic cancer.This article reviews the relationship between TANs and pancreatic cancer to provide ideas for understanding the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer and proposing new therapies.

Key words: Pancreatic cancer, Tumor-associated neutrophils, Tumor microenvironment, Immunotherapy
