Pancreas cancer conference

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers to treat and cure. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is expected to be the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the US. But the tide is changing due to advances in treatment and surgery. We now have Hope. That Hope is the focus of the 8th Annual Atlanta Pancreas Cancer Conference. This unique annual event has educational opportunities for the medical and nursing specialists that fight pancreatic cancer every day, but this conference also provides opportunities to learn more about pancreatic cancer for patients, families, and other non-clinical community members.
