Change the Course: Early Detection for Pancreatic Cancer

During this discussion, you’ll learn more about:

How advances in artificial intelligence and imaging technology stand to impact how cancer is detected and diagnosed
What high-risk communities should know about managing their risk and being proactive about their health
The signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer, including how to have a conversation with your doctor about this disease
The role PanCAN plays in driving research forward
Panelists include: pancreatic cancer survivor Pamela Jackson, Avinash Kambadakone, MD, Rosalie Sears, PhD, Sapna Syngal, MD, MPH, and Deborah Scilingo.
