Genomic medicine is transforming treatment and care for people affected by pancreatic cancer. Join us for a free, virtual education session to find out everything you need to know about genomic medicine in pancreatic cancer, with guidance on how you can start to explore genomics in your own practice 

Hosted by specialist nurses, we will begin with an introduction to genomic medicine in pancreatic cancer, and the positive difference it can make to an individual’s treatment and care.  

We’ll then explore what this looks like in practice, with examples from someone with lived experience and from a HPB CNS who is leading on genomic profiling for those with PDAC in Stockport. We will also share practical tips and guidance on how to increase awareness and the accessibility of genomics in your local practice.
