Pancreatic cancer. Search for the cure
Description
Despite its ranking as one of the most lethal of diseases, pancreatic cancer has been largely neglected in terms of funding and public awareness, further contributing to its high mortality rate. This program examines efforts being made by dedicated specialists to hold the disease at bay while caring professionals and celebrities strive to inform the public and raise money. Margaret Tempero, Beppino Giovanella, James Abbruzzese, and other key figures in pancreatic research discuss therapies that have proved helpful to a number of patients, including 9-nitro camptothecin, gemcitabine, and the Whipple procedure.
