Abstract

The evaluation of resectability in patients with pancreatic cancer remains a diagnostic challenge, especially regarding the preoperative assessment of vascular invasion. Thin-slice multiplanar reconstructions obtained with multislice helical computed tomography provide an exact depiction of the spatial relation between the tumor and the potentially invaded vessels and thus have the capability to improve the assessment of local resectability.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
