    Simple Summary The pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer-associated diabetes mellitus is poorly understood. We analyzed tumor infiltration into Langerhans islets and characterized it systematically for the first time, identifying four different main patterns of islet invasion. In a cohort of 68 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients, these islet invasion patterns were not related to occurrence of diabetes mellitus. However, severe islet invasion was associated with worsened overall survival. Background: Pancreatic cancer-associated diabetes mellitus (PC-DM) is present in most patients with pancreatic cancer, but its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to characterize tumor infiltration in Langerhans islets in pancreatic cancer and determine its clinical relevance. Methods: Langerhans islet invasion was systematically analyzed in 68 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using histopathological examination and 3D in vitro migration assays were performed to assess chemoattraction of pancreatic cancer cells to islet cells. Results: Langerhans islet invasion was present in all patients. We found four different patterns of islet invasion: (Type I) peri-insular invasion with tumor cells directly touching the boundary, but not penetrating the islet
