  • Dr David Chang
    Cancer survival for all cancers combined has doubled in the last 40 years in the UK, but did you know that pancreatic cancer continues to have one of the lowest survival rates? At the 7th National Research Conference on the 27th of October, Dr David Chang will be presenting “Precision-Panc: Personalised Care for Pancreatic Cancer”.
    Dr David Chang, the Co-Lead of Molecular Phenotyping Activities for Precision-Panc is a Reader at the Wolfson Wohl Cancer Research Centre and Consultant Pancreatic Surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He is committed to pancreatic cancer research and the delivery of stratified cancer care.
    “PRECISION-Panc is an ambitious programme of research that seeks to uncover the molecular profile of individual patients with pancreatic cancer, to learn more about the disease and to pave the way for patients entering clinical trials in a way that matches their tumour biology to the type of treatment” (Cancer Research UK).
    Don’t miss out on the opportunity to hear about this exciting project – the first of its kind in the UK!
