To close the month of November dedicated to raising awareness about pancreatic cancer, pancreatic surgeon Dr. Nouredin Messaoudi presented to a group of 150 general practitioners (GP’s) the symptoms and risks of the disease, as well as the urgent need for earlier detection. This event was organized at the Europe Hospitals in Brussels (Belgium) to support GPs and give them the tools to diagnose and refer patients promptly. “Increasing awareness of symptoms and improving earlier diagnosis is crucial in the fight against pancreatic cancer, Dr. Messaoudi explains, as early detection of pancreatic cancer greatly increases the number of patients amenable for potentially curative surgery.”
Please reach out to Dr. Messaoudi at n.messaoudi@cdle.be if you’re interested in knowing more about his actions in Brussels.
