Interview with Philip A Philip, MD, PhD

Track 1: Case: A 72-year-old man with locally advanced, unresectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas receives neoadjuvant gemcitabine/nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab) paclitaxel
Track 2: Choosing between neoadjuvant gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel and FOLFIRINOX
Track 3: SWOG-S1505: An ongoing Phase II trial of perioperative modified FOLFIRINOX versus gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel for resectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
Track 4: Activity and tolerability of concurrent capecitabine and radiation therapy
Track 5: Therapeutic options for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who experience disease progression on a gemcitabine-based regimen
Track 6: Formulation and risk-benefit ratio of nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) versus standard IV irinotecan
Track 7: Discussing prognosis and goals of therapy with patients with relapsed/refractory metastatic pancreatic cancer
Track 8: Finding meaning and satisfaction as an oncologist
Track 9: Case: An 84-year-old man with metastatic pancreatic cancer receives nal-IRI and 5-FU/leucovorin (LV) after disease progression on gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel
Track 10: Dose-modified gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel for elderly patients with metastatic disease
Track 11: Importance of supportive care for patients with terminal cancer
Track 12: Efficacy of nal-IRI/5-FU/LV for patients with recurrent pancreatic cancer and liver metastases
Track 13: Case: A 57-year-old man with invasive, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the pancreas receives adjuvant gemcitabine/capecitabine
Track 14: Clinical experience with and dosing of adjuvant gemcitabine/capecitabine
Track 15: Ongoing trials evaluating adjuvant chemotherapy with and without radiation therapy
Track 16: Case: A 51-year-old man with a strong family history of BRCA-related cancer presents with Stage IV pancreatic cancer with liver metastases and is found to harbor a germline BRCA mutation
Track 17: Potential role of platinum-based chemotherapy in combination with a PARP inhibitor for BRCA mutation-positive metastatic pancreatic cancer
Track 18: SWOG-S1513: An ongoing Phase II trial of FOLFIRI alone versus modified FOLFIRI with the PARP inhibitor veliparib as second-line therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer
Track 19: Activity of PARP inhibitors in BRCA germline mutation-positive pancreatic cancer; incidence of and screening for BRCA mutations
Track 20: Novel pathways and strategies under investigation in pancreatic cancer
Track 21: Targeting tumor stroma with the pegylated recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme PEGPH20; mitigation of associated thromboembolic events
Track 22: Tolerability of the cancer stemness inhibitor napabucasin in patients with pancreatic cancer
Track 23: Immune checkpoint inhibitors for pancreatic cancer
Track 24: Efficacy of first-line treatment options for metastatic pancreatic cancer
Track 25: Response and tolerability of FOLFIRINOX compared to gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel
Track 26: Second-line therapy options for metastatic pancreatic cancer

Interview with Ramesh K Ramanathan, MD

Track 1: ASCO Clinical Practice Guidelines for metastatic pancreatic cancer
Track 2: Genomic drivers in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Track 3: Significance of BRCA germline and somatic mutations in pancreatic cancer
Track 4: Testing for microsatellite instability in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer
Track 5: Ongoing Phase II trial of nivolumab/nab paclitaxel/paricalcitol/cisplatin/gemcitabine for previously untreated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Track 6: Activity of PEGPH20 in combination with gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Track 7: Tumor reduction in primary and metastatic pancreatic cancer with gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel
Track 8: Biologic rationale for the superior activity of nab paclitaxel compared to standard-formulation paclitaxel
Track 9: Nomogram for predicting overall survival among patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with gemcitabine alone or in combination with nab paclitaxel
Track 10: SEENA-1: Results of a Phase II trial of gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel followed by sequential modified FOLFIRINOX or alternating with modified FOLFIRI for untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer
Track 11: Potential use of maintenance therapy for pancreatic cancer
Track 12: Activity of gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel with cisplatin in patients with Stage IV pancreatic cancer
Track 13: Second-line therapy options for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Track 14: Correlation between MRI-detected ferumoxytol uptake in tumor lesions and response to nal-IRI
Track 15: Case: A 63-year-old woman presents with obstructive jaundice, is diagnosed with borderline-resectable pancreatic cancer and receives neoadjuvant modified FOLFIRINOX
Track 16: Clinical experience with adjuvant gemcitabine/capecitabine
Track 17: Case: A 74-year-old man with metastatic pancreatic cancer receives first-line gemcitabine/nab paclitaxel and second-line nal-IRI
Track 18: Importance of palliative care in managing the formidable symptoms of pancreatic cancer
Track 19: Case: A 74-year-old woman presents with an isolated lung lesion 3 years after undergoing a pancreatic tail resection for a T2N0 adenocarcinoma
Track 20: Case: A 51-year-old woman with a family history of breast and ovarian cancer is diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer and undergoes BRCA testing
