The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]: In the published version, Figure 4 appeared as a duplication of Figure 1b. Furthermore, the legend of Figure 2 has been corrected to accurately reflect the data shown.
The correct version of Figure 2 is as follows:
Figure 2. KRAS mutation status was determined in plasma from (a) sporadic PDAC cases (b) hereditary or familial PDAC (H/FPC) cases via BEAMing and mutant KRAS was more frequently detected in sporadic cases compared to H/FPC cases. BEAMing was performed using cfDNA isolated from 1 mL of plasma from 54 PDAC cases (31 familial cases and 23 sporadic cases). The frequency of mutant KRAS was 70% in sporadic cases and 16% in familial cases, which was statistically significant (p ≤ 0.001).

The correct version of Figure 4 is as follows:
Figure 4. Hereditary or familial PDAC cases have a longer overall survival (OS) compared to sporadic cases.

We stress that these errors were purely due to human error and oversight; the corrections made do not affect or change the written portion of the figure legend, the interpretation of the results, or the final conclusions of this manuscript. The manuscript will be updated. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused. All changes have been reviewed and verified by the Academic Editors.
