Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, and its symptoms in its early stages can be easy to miss. According to the American Cancer Society, roughly 60,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer—and 50,000 people die from it—each year. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Jonathan Fisher, MD, a surgeon at Scripps Green Hospital, discuss the types of pancreatic cancer, how pancreatic cancer is diagnosed, and treatment options. Dr. Fisher also shares some of the biggest risk factors for pancreatic cancer and how local biotech companies are helping screen people for the disease.
