A Nurses Guide to Pancreatic Cancer From Diagnosis to Treatment with Lauren Damato, RN, ACNP-BC and Megan Price, NP-C of UCLA

There are a multitude of concerns and emotions that a person experiences when diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Patients and family members are immediately thrust into a world they often know little about while having to make important health care decisions in a timely manner. Having a road map to understanding what happens from pancreatic cancer diagnosis to treatment is ideal. We asked Lauren Damato, Nurse Practitioner of the UCLA Agi Hirshberg Center for Pancreatic Diseases and Megan Price, Oncology Nurse Practitioner with the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, to discuss how pancreatic cancer is diagnosed, surgical resection and chemotherapy options including immunotherapy. They also shared the benefits of patient care in an integrated practice unit utilizing a multidisciplinary approach.

This is a video recording of the Zoom webinar that took place on Friday, May 1, 2020 at 1:00 (PST). The pancreatic cancer community joined Agi Hirshberg, Lauren Damato & Megan Price as they shared important information to help patients & families navigate a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
