Dr. Steve Edelman speaks with Dr. David Diamond, a radiation oncologist with deep expertise in pancreatic cancer, to explore the critical but often overlooked connection between diabetes and pancreatic cancer. They discuss the heightened risks for individuals with type 2 diabetes, the challenges in early detection, and why pancreatic cancer remains one of the most deadly cancers due to its lack of symptoms and effective screening methods. Dr. Diamond shares insights into emerging screening technologies like liquid biopsy tests that could transform early detection, potentially improving outcomes for at-risk patients. Together, they emphasize the importance of awareness among patients and healthcare providers, highlighting practical steps and advocating for regular screenings to protect those with diabetes from this serious disease.
