Why is it especially important in pancreatic cancer to find the right place to receive care?

"Because pancreatic cancer is so challenging, it’s crucial to deliver the best possible treatment for the patient as early in their diagnosis as possible. From the beginning, we need to have a strategy in place that is flexible to the needs of the patient and responds to the changes in the tumor," says pancreatic cancer surgeon Dr. Evan Glazer.

His UM care team laid out a treatment plan that included chemotherapy and radiation. Eight months later, Kipke completed his treatment.

When a person with cancer finds out they carry an inherited genetic variant that puts them at higher risk of cancer, the results can help inform their treatment or steps to prevent additional cancer.

But what about their family members who may also have inherited that genetic variant?

“Few medical tests have implications for others beyond the patient. But with germline genetic testing, the results can be very significant to the health of others around you,” said Steven J. Katz, M.D., M.P.H., a researcher at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center.

Katz and colleagues developed a web-based intervention to educate people with cancer about the impact genetic variants can have on their family. The platform also allows patients to invite first- and second-degree relatives to the site, where they get information about genetic risk and access to testing. https://michmed.org/4kY2n

The best approach to treating pancreatic cancer involves knowing Plan A, Plan B and Plan C right from the beginning.

"Because pancreatic cancer is so challenging, it’s crucial to deliver the best possible treatment for the patient as early in their diagnosis as possible," says Dr. Evan Glazer, a surgeon at the Rogel and Blondy Center for Pancreatic Cancer.

Do your research and find the best treatment center right from the start. Dr. Glazer shares what to look for. https://michmed.org/bQ2yK

He underwent surgery to remove the mass in his colon and received chemotherapy for one and a half years to shrink the tumors in his liver.

Sweeney and his U-M care team then made history.

For years, colore**al cancer prevention has been one of medicine’s success stories. Widespread screening has led to major drops in both diagnoses and deaths among adults age 50 and older.

However, Dr. Elena Stoffel warns that colore**al cancer is rising fast in younger adults—and our health care system hasn’t fully caught up yet.
