Title

Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer with Multimodal Approaches

Abstract

Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Europe and the United States. Its high mortality is largely attributable to late-stage diagnosis in approximately 85% of patients, resulting in a dismal 5-year survival rate. This underscores the urgent need for effective strategies for early detection. However, disease heterogeneity poses major challenges. To address this, integrative research approaches are essential. In this talk, Dr. Wang will present her recent work on risk stratification and early detection of pancreatic cancer, leveraging multi-dimensional data and advanced analytic methodologies applied to large population-based cohorts, biobanks and clinical imaging.
