Pancreatic Cancer with Emil Lou, MD, PhD, FACP

Video Series

Frontline Setting of Pancreatic Cancer

Videos

Along with Emil Lou, MD, PhD, FACP, the Oncology Brothers discuss the current standard of care and treatment landscape for Pancreatic Cancer.

Panelists discuss how the treatment approach for pancreatic cancer typically involves a multidisciplinary strategy that combines surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and emerging targeted therapies, with a focus on improving patient outcomes through individualized care plans based on tumor characteristics and disease stage.

Overview of Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Approach

Panelists discuss how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and germline testing are increasingly being used in pancreatic cancer to identify genetic mutations, guide personalized treatment decisions, and inform the use of targeted therapies, ultimately improving patient outcomes and advancing precision medicine.

NGS and Germline Testing in Pancreatic Cancer

Panelists discuss how radiation therapy plays a crucial role in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, particularly in combination with surgery and chemotherapy, to manage locally advanced disease, reduce tumor size, and improve patient outcomes while also considering its potential adverse effects and optimal usage in treatment regimens.

Role of Radiation in Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

Panelists discuss how the treatment algorithm for metastatic pancreatic cancer involves a multidisciplinary approach, starting with chemotherapy regimens such as FOLFIRINOX (leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, and oxaliplatin) or gemcitabine-based therapies and followed by considerations for targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and clinical trial participation, with the goal of managing symptoms, prolonging survival, and improving quality of life.

Treatment Algorithm for Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Panelists discuss how the frontline treatment of pancreatic cancer typically involves chemotherapy regimens such as FOLFIRINOX (leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, and oxaliplatin) or gemcitabine-based therapies, with decisions guided by tumor characteristics, patient performance status, and treatment goals, aiming to improve survival outcomes and quality of life in newly diagnosed patients.
