MCW Pancreatic Cancer Symposium: Bench to Bedside
Target Audience
- Surgeons (Surgical Oncologists, General Surgeons, Residents, and Fellows)
- Medical Oncologists
- Gastroenterologists
- Advanced Practice Providers
- Radiation Oncologists
Learning Objectives
- Outline patient outcomes, including tumor response rates and survival rates, following flash radiotherapy.
- Identify how a personalized medicine approach can lead to extended survival rates and extend the overall quality of life for patients.
- Describe actionable pathways not previously identified through genomic analyses, supporting the idea that effective future therapeutic regimens for PDAC will include epigenomic targets.
The symposium will be held on Friday, August 2, 2024. Please see below for the program schedule or view PDF HERE.
