Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a devastating disease with increasing incidence and dismal prognosis. The composition of the immune cell infiltrates in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the dynamic interplay between cancer- and immune cells can influence and/or be influenced by tumor-intrinsic characteristics like molecular profiles and tumor cell morphology. The combined analyses of pancreatic cancer by using morphologic, genetic, and immunologic features help us understand the significant heterogeneity of the TME and recognize the different mechanisms of immune evasion. Moreover, this information may lead to the identification of novel biomarkers for more precise patient stratification and therapy guidance.
