Dr. Kessler, a member of City of Hope’s multidisciplinary pancreatic cancer team, joins us on Living Hope: Your Journey with Pancreatic Cancer to discuss innovative approaches to pancreatic cancer treatment, including the RenovoCath. We also explore the importance of collaborative, team-based care and the growing reasons for hope for patients and families facing pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, leaving many patients with limited treatment options and difficult decisions to navigate. Yet researchers and physicians continue to advance the field, developing new therapies and technologies designed to improve outcomes, expand treatment possibilities, and enhance quality of life.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the RenovoCath, a first-of-its-kind FDA-cleared device that delivers chemotherapy directly to the tumor. Dr. Kessler explains how this innovative approach differs from traditional systemic chemotherapy and why it has generated excitement among clinicians and patients alike.

We also discuss the value of multidisciplinary pancreatic cancer care and how collaboration among specialists can help ensure patients receive comprehensive, personalized treatment. Most importantly, we explore the progress being made in pancreatic cancer care and the reasons for optimism as new therapies and treatment strategies continue to emerge.

Dr. Jon Kessler from the City of Hope joins us to provide some hope about their multi-discplinary team. And the Renovo catheter. #cityofhope #hope #cancer #pancreaticcancer #livinghope #octalkradio

Pancreatic cancer survivor Thom Mrozek joins us once again on Living Hope: Your Journey with Pancreatic Cancer for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the realities of long-term survivorship.

Together with host Roberta Luna, Thom shares personal experiences, insights, and lessons learned while navigating life beyond diagnosis and treatment. From the physical and emotional challenges of survivorship to resilience, hope, and quality of life, this conversation explores topics that are often not discussed enough.

Surviving pancreatic cancer is something to celebrate — but survivorship also comes with ongoing challenges that deserve understanding, support, and continued advocacy.
