Presentations from the Virtual Annual Summit 2020: Improving Outcomes Now

In March we had to postpone our Annual Summit in light of the coronavirus pandemic. As we enter the recovery phase of the pandemic, we must not lose the amazing momentum the pancreatic cancer community has gathered to find innovative solutions to maintain treatment and care. And so we brought the Summit back in September covering the same vital topics through virtual sessions.

There were three, 2-hour sessions essential for anyone with an interest in pancreatic cancer from health professionals, researchers and policy makers to patients, carers and supporters.
