Pancreatic cancer was once considered an incurable disease. But, with advances in surgical, endoscopic, and oncologic treatments, patients with pancreatic cancer are now getting a second chance.
As a special educational offering, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital will provide a real-time webcast featuring the newest surgical procedure for pancreatic cancer – a pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (mini-Whipple procedure). The webcast will also feature an interactive presentation by various members of the Jefferson Pancreatic Cancer and Related Diseases team. You will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panel members during the live webcast.
The procedure will be performed by internationally known pancreas specialist and Chair of Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Charles J. Yeo, MD, FACS, and the panel members will include Jefferson specialists in surgery, research, anesthesia, gastroenterology and radiology.
Both professionals and the public may view the live webcast. Physicians may sign up to receive CME credits for viewing this webcast.
