Pancreatic cancer is the eighth most common cancer in Australia with one of the lowest survival rates.

Conventional cancer treatments have been largely ineffective, and most patients are ineligible for life-saving surgery. Late-stage diagnosis and resistance to conventional treatments means the five-year survival rate is less than 12%. This is why we need more innovative treatment options.

In this webinar, UOW researchers Elahe Minaei, Ashna Kumar, Dr Gary Tincknell, Senior Professor Marie Ranson and Associate Professor Kara Vine-Perrow discuss the development of novel treatment approaches for pancreatic cancer.

Panellists:
- Professor David Currow
- Senior Professor Marie Ranson
- Associate Professor Kara Vine-Perrow
- Dr Gary Tincknell
- Elahe Minaei
- Ashna Kumar

Luminaries brings together leading UOW researchers, industry experts and thought leaders for a one-hour conversation every fortnight.

This interdisciplinary series demonstrates how research and collaboration is tackling global social, environmental and economic challenges.
