Overview:
Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy with poor prognosis and high mortality. The risk factors can be categorized as those related to individual characteristics, lifestyle and environment, and disease status. During this conference, a panel of experts that includes Dr. Domenech Asbun, Dr. Horacio Asbun, Dr. Michael Chuong, Dr. Ripal Gandhi, Dr. Ramon Jimenez and Dr. Govindarajan Narayanan, will examine recently published trial data and review their implications for unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer care.
This course also includes an interactive case which walks learners through a real-life scenario to assess the patient's history, review evidence-based data supporting best practices in pancreatic cancer care and answer questions about the factors in identifying, diagnosing, and treating pancreatic cancer.
Learning Objectives:
• Examine recently published trial data and review their implications for unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer care.
• Identify and recognize new clinical data that support total neoadjuvant therapy in pancreatic cancer.
• Recognize the need for gastrointestinal follow-up for pancreatic cancer patients.
• Screen patients who present to the emergency department with symptoms associated with possible diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
• Recognize patients who would benefit from receiving abdominal imaging to rule out pancreatic tumors or disease.
