The Norwegian Cancer Society’s National Expert Group for Pancreatic Cancer Research (KNEP) hosted the 4th national network meeting on pancreatic cancer research last Friday (March 13th) at the Grand Hotel in Oslo. The event brought together 63 participants from across the country. Program highlights included presentations by Professor Jeff Evans from the University of Glasgow and Kasper Overbeek from the Erasmus MC Cancer Institute Rotterdam. This year's meeting placed a special focus on clinical trials and the surveillance of individuals with a hereditary increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer. The meeting was organized in collaboration with the Pancreatic Cancer Network Norway ( PKNN ), which celebrated its 10th anniversary at the same venue later that day.
