Overview

Pancreatic cancer is a diagnosis no provider wants to deliver.

As medical professionals, you are already aware of the fear that accompanies the words “pancreatic cancer.” So what should primary care providers know about detecting it early?

The First Line of Defense is a 4-part podcast specifically created for primary care providers to share recent advances and technology in the early detection of pancreatic cancer.

In under an hour, listeners will hear from fellow primary care providers, researchers, patients, advocates, and specialists to learn about the newest developments in assessing risk factors, symptoms, and the use of AI in early detection.
