There still are no good screening methods for detecting pancreatic cancer before its late stages. Bechien Wu, MD, MPH, chair of the Kaiser Permanente Southern California Regional Research Committee, describes how researchers and physicians are using electronic health record data to help develop personalized profiles to predict patients’ risk of pancreatic cancer and to detect pancreatic cancer early, when it is treatable. Although relatively rare, pancreatic cancer is still the third-leading cause of cancer- related death in the United States.* Learn more at https://about.kaiserpermanente.....org/our-story/healt

Her tumor was inoperable but the Penn team never gave up. Through an innovative clinical trial only available at Penn, her team found a way to treat - and cure - her cancer. Today she proudly tells everyone: She’ not a statistic, she’s a survivor.

End of life Hospice Care for patients with Pancreatic Cancer also depends on where you are in your disease process. Ascites is a common symptom of Pancreatic Cancer that I've seen and Ascites is is the accumulation of fluid within the peritoneal cavity, which means that your belly becomes substantially bigger due to fluid buildup.

What other diseases are you interested in learning about when it comes to end of life in Hospice?

Have you experienced a loved one or a family member dealing with Pancreatic Cancer or the end of life in Hospice Care? Please share your story in the comments and I'd love for you to ask questions!
