Update on Pancreaticobiliary Diseases 2023

Saturday, February 11, 2023, 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM, The Ritz Carlton, Washington, DC

Pancreatic and biliary diseases include a large variety of pathologies, including both benign and malignant diseases, whose diagnosis and management remain a challenge to clinicians. Recent developments and improvements in diagnostic tools and treatment options make this an exciting time for the field. This one-day symposium highlights the full spectrum of multidisciplinary care including advanced imaging, endoscopic approaches, and surgical interventions. We will review the latest advances in interventional endoscopic techniques in patients with pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, review updated guidelines on screening for pancreatic cancer, discuss the role of ctDNA testing in HPB malignancies, and highlight current multi-disciplinary treatment strategies for treatment of pancreatic cancer. Finally, the course will emphasize case-based panels that will discuss the application of new technologies and approaches in specific patient cases.
