Glendale, CA (PRWEB) October 13, 2013 -- Audio-Digest Foundation Announces the Release of General Surgery Volume 60, Issue 13: Cancers of the Esophagus and Pancreas.
The goal of this program is to improve the surgical management of esophageal and pancreatic cancer. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Recognize the role of antireflux surgery in the treatment of Barrett esophagus.
2. Assess patients with esophageal cancer (EC) for esophagectomy.
3. Stage patients with EC using the mostly recently updated criteria.
4. Consider neoadjuvant therapy in appropriate patients with resectable pancreatic cancer (PC).
5. Predict surgical and population-based outcomes of patients with PC.
