At the recent European Society For Medical Oncology (ESMO 21) Congress held September 16 -21, Dr. Thierry Conroy presented the updated results of the Unicancer PRODIGE 24/CCTG PA6 trial. The five-year data from the trial has confirmed the significant benefits of the use of mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy in all outcomes.
This practice-changing research confirmed the significant improvement in the survival of pancreatic cancer patients treated with the mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy regimen compared to the then standard treatment with gemcitabine.
So much has happened recently that I wanted to take a moment to update everyone on key accomplishments and our group aims for future.
