An introduction to the Johns Hopkins experts who gather their knowledge and expertise for patients in the pancreatic cancer multidisciplinary clinic.
In understanding the science of cancer, investigators Bert Vogelstein, M.D., Kenneth Kinzler, Ph.D., and colleagues have deciphered the complete genetic blueprint for pancreatic cancer. Ralph Hruban, M.D., and Scott Kern, M.D., achieved the most advanced characterization of pancreatic cancer pathology.
In surgery, John Cameron, M.D., perfected the Whipple procedure, an operation to remove the head of the pancreas, most of the duodenum (a part of the small intestine), a portion of the bile duct, the gallbladder, and associated lymph nodes. Johns Hopkins surgeons now perform the most pancreatic cancer surgeries in the world.
In novel immunotherapies, Elizabeth Jaffee, M.D., developed the GVAX pancreatic cancer vaccine, now in clinical trials. Studies of what is likely to be the first immunotherapy for MSI-high tumors in pancreatic cancer approved by the FDA in 2017 was directed here.
