The subject of the discussion will be cancer of the pancreas, an aggressive disease with often severe prognosis, to which is dedicated the pre-congress course "Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas" of 8 November. The life expectancy of this cancer, whose cases in Italy have increased by 59% over the past 15 years (nearly 14,000 people are affected each year), improves with diagnosis and treatment early. Today, this is possible thanks to the introduction, in addition to radiological investigations (CT and magnetic resonance), from endoscopic ultrasound.
Udine's gastroenterology carries out over 500 endoscopic examinations a year, most of them for pancreatic neoplasia. "This diagnostic and therapeutic procedure," explains Dr. Debora Berretti, a Gastroenterology consultant on this methodology, "combines endoscopic valence and ultrasonic diagnostic accuracy, which also allows for local treatments such as the destruction of wounds, the injection of chemotherapeutic drugs, or the treatment of cancer. application of radiotherapy treatments ".
Meetings in Udine will allow professionals to compare different aspects of digestive tract diseases from pediatrics to geriatrics.
