Next, Dr. Koshiro Ohtsubo, a lecturer at University Hospital Department of Oncology, gave a lecture on the theme of "Let's learn more about pancreatic cancer - aiming at early detection." He explained the recent trends in the number of pancreatic cancer cases and deaths, points to note for early cancer detection, and treatment methods, mainly chemotherapy. During the Q&A session, there were questions about blood tests and treatment based on genetic analysis.
