Houston-based University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has received a $10 million gift from Zelma and William Reid to establish the Pancreatic Cancer High-Risk Interception Program.
The program will identify and monitor individuals at an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer and provide specialized screening for their families, according to a Nov. 10 news release from MD Anderson.
Michael Kim, MD, Manoop Bhutani, MD, and Florencia McAllister, MD, will co-lead the program, which will bring together specialists in surgical oncology, gastroenterology and gastrointestinal medical oncology, the release said.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
