202. Back to Basics - Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

From Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind Michael Fernando and Josh Hurwitz

Today, we accidentally skipped early pancreatic cancer and jumped straight to advanced pancreatic cancer. It was a sombre episode, with clinicians and advocates screaming for better treatment options for this cancer. While small incremental advances have been made, the holy grail remains elusive.

Today our focus is on NAPOLI-3, the use of liposomal irinotecan (NALIRIFOX), and PANOVA-3, where TTFields are used in combination with gemcitabine/abraxane. A good conversation, though the current premise is sad. Hopefully, as time moves on, this conversation will be more optimistic.

Studies discussed in this episode:

NAPOLI-3

PANOVA-3
