About this listen
Host Dr. Lacy Knight talks with Dr. Andrew Page, surgical oncologist at Piedmont HealthCare, about pancreatic cancer, why it is often difficult to detect early, and what patients and families may want to understand. They discuss trends seen across the Southeast, factors that can influence risk, and the importance of coordinated care and awareness.
Dr. Page also describes the work taking place within Piedmont’s Early Detection Clinic, including efforts to strengthen screening through imaging, blood assays, genetic evaluation, and research partnerships. He walks through the general pathway of diagnosis and treatment and reflects on how new approaches are shaping care for people facing this disease.
This conversation offers a grounded look at pancreatic cancer, from understanding risk to the evolving tools that may support earlier detection and treatment.
