Symposium aims:
Collectively test whether Victoria is ready to implement a standardised approach in early stage pancreatic cancer:
- bring the latest cross-disciplinary evidence to the table for discussion
- share information from the PURPLE registry regarding current treatment patterns in Victoria
- explore the opportunity to form an expert group to annually review the latest treatment evidence and make recommendations for practice guidelines in Victoria
There will be a chance to share your thoughts via interactive voting and facilitated discussion.
The symposium is presented by the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre.
