Primary Care Clinicians and Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer
The First Line of Defense
The First Line of Defense is a 4-part podcast specifically created for primary care providers to share recent advances and technology in the early detection of pancreatic cancer.
The Kenner Family Research Fund works with partners all across the pancreatic cancer community. Check out the resources below for more information.
Partners
KFRF is committed to fostering an ongoing scientific discovery process in the quest for an effective screening protocol that will be used globally in primary care settings. To encourage innovation, clinicians and scientists from numerous fields must have opportunities to collaborate in order to create the breakthroughs needed to develop a screening protocol for pancreatic cancer. The Fund has led recent initiatives that have challenged previously held beliefs and conceptual models, constructed breakthrough ideas, and developed new approaches for early detection in pancreatic cancer.
Research
Methods for earlier interception of sporadic pancreatic cancer are urgently needed. Early detection is the key to improving survival of this cancer. Since 2014, the Kenner Family Research Fund has conducted conferences and summit meetings that focus on different aspects of developing an early detection protocol. After each meeting, summit, or conference, KFRF has published the proceedings and resulting ideas in Pancreas, the journal of the American Pancreatic Association, the Japan Pancreas Society, and the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society.
