Description

Elsa U. Pardee Foundation
Memorial Cancer Lecture

Screening & Treatment Of Pancreatic Cancer

Join Surgical Oncologist and National Cancer Expert Frederick Greene, M.D., for a lunch and learn program focused on pancreatic cancer.

The Pancreas plays a key role in the digestive system as it helps break down food and uses sugar for energy. When the pancreas doesn't function correctly it may lead to digestive problems, diabetes and even cancer. The most common type of pancreatic cancer is pancreatic adenocarcinoma and accounts for 95 percent of pancreatic cancer cases. While pancreatic cancer is rare, it is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. 

Topics include:

  • Screening and staging strategies for pancreatic cancer
  • Treatment and surgical options for pancreatic cancer
  • Outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer
  • New strategies for early diagnosis especially in families with family history
