Prof. Mário Dinis-Ribeiro, Prof. Konstantinos Triantafyllou, Dr. Jasmin Zessner-Spitzenberg
DESCRIPTION
Gastric and pancreatic cancer awareness emphasizes the critical need for screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Early detection is vital, with endoscopic techniques and quality improvement initiatives playing key roles. Shared decision-making enhances screening processes, while education and outreach efforts aim to improve participation. Challenges in diagnosing pancreatic cancer, such as unreliable tumor markers, are discussed alongside the potential of liquid biopsies. Awareness campaigns and organizational roles in education and research are highlighted.

Description
The ENDUR trial compares endoscopic and surgical gastroenterostomy for malignant gastric outlet obstruction. It reveals that the endoscopic method offers quicker recovery and similar reintervention rates. The study also discusses cost-effectiveness and quality of life, stressing the importance of expert intervention. Additionally, it addresses strategies for preventing P-C-C-R-C, emphasizing personalized approaches and the role of institutions in enhancing outcomes.
