DR-099 PEGASUS – Pancreatic and EsophagoGastric cAncer, improving Survival and qUality of life through personalized medicine

No Featured Image set

Pancreatic cancer and esophagogastric cancer are among the most deadly forms of cancer: despite intensive treatment with chemotherapy and / or surgery, the majority of patients die from the disease. In PEGASUS we investigate whether molecular techniques are of value in predicting which patients will benefit from such intensive treatment, both with regard to the chance of survival as well as quality of life. We are also investigating whether there are molecular targets that could improve treatment even further with patient tailored drugs. We will weigh the costs of using molecular techniques against the benefits and risks for the patient.
