ESMO GI 2024 | Progression-free survival as a treatment gauge in pancreatic cancer

Tsuyoshi Shirakawa, MD, PhD, Eikoh Hospital and the Clinical Hematology Oncology Treatment Study Group, Fukuoka, Japan, discusses how progression-free survival (PFS) can be considered a surrogate marker for overall survival (OS), providing insights into treatment efficacy in pancreatic cancer. For patients requiring second-line therapy, nanoliposomal irinotecan is recommended as a first-line treatment option in the clinic, before choosing other therapeutic methods. This interview took place at 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Gastrointestinal Cancers Annual Congress in Munich, Germany.
