    The Link Between Diabetes and Pancreatic Cancer

    Almost one in four people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are also diagnosed with diabetes. In this episode of PancChat, host Alisyn Camerota talks with Dr. Suresh Chari, professor of medicine at MD Anderson Cancer Center and principal investigator for the PanCAN Early Detection Initiative, about the complex relationship between diabetes and pancreatic cancer. Dr. Chari explains why new-onset diabetes can be an early warning sign for pancreatic cancer, why a sudden rise in blood sugar alongside unexplained weight loss is a pattern worth watching, and why early detection remains one of the biggest challenges in pancreatic cancer research. He also shares an update on the clinical trials underway — including AI-assisted imaging — aimed at catching pancreatic cancer earlier in people with new-onset diabetes.

    Emerging Trials in Pancreatic Cancer

    With one new drug against the KRAS mutation on the path to FDA approval, what is the status of other KRAS drugs, as well as different types of treatment?  To get the latest information, host Alisyn Camerota is joined once again by Dr. Allyson Ocean, medical oncologist and director of the Pancreatic Cancer Research Program at Weill Cornell Medicine, and a co-founder of Let's Win, along with Dr. Anna Berkenblit, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer for PanCAN, who brings more than two decades of experience in the research and clinical development of novel anticancer therapies. Together, they discuss the status of pancreatic cancer vaccine research, walk through what a drug's journey from idea to approval actually looks like, and explain in plain terms what separates a phase 1 clinical trial from a phase 2 or phase 3 trial — and why every phase matters for patients considering enrollment. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor, Revolution Medicines. To learn more about the latest breakthroughs in pancreatic cancer treatment, visit letswinpc.org and pancan.org. PancChat is produced in collaboration with Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer and PanCAN.

    Advancements This Year

    New pancreatic cancer treatments have not been approved in many years, but the first half of 2026 has seen some significant treatment advances. In this episode, host Alisyn Camerota talks with Dr. Anna Berkenblit, PanCAN’s Chief Scientific and Medical Officer, and Dr. Allyson Ocean, director of the pancreatic cancer research program at Weill Cornell Medicine and co-founder of Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer, about what's changing and what it means for patients. Dr. Berkenblit and Dr. Ocean discuss the phase 3 results for daraxonrasib, a RAS-targeted therapy now available to some patients through an FDA expanded access program.  They also cover the broader pipeline of RAS inhibitors and degraders in development, progress on personalized and off-the-shelf pancreatic cancer vaccines, and tumor-treating fields (TTF)—brand-name Optune Pax—a newly approved device-based therapy for locally advanced disease. Dr. Berkenblit and Dr. Ocean also focus on what these developments mean for patients navigating treatment decisions today, and why clinical trial participation remains central to progress in the field.

    Surviving Pancreatic Cancer

    Roberta Luna is a  24-year pancreatic cancer survivor. When she was diagnosed in 2002, her doctors gave her months to live. But she was determined that the same disease that had already taken her father and uncle would not take her. In this episode, Roberta talks with host Alisyn Camerota about navigating a stage three diagnosis, the role of clinical trials, the diet and lifestyle changes she credits with her health, and the survivor's guilt that comes with outliving a prognosis. She also shares why she's never made a bucket list — and why she jumps out of a plane every April instead. Listen to this conversation about hope, advocacy, and finding your "why."

    Living with Pancreatic Cancer

    What is it like to live with pancreatic cancer?. Randi Ervin was diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) in her 30s. Even after a total pancreatectomy she remains in treatment to keep the tumor in check.   In the years since her diagnosis she has become an insulin-dependent diabetic, lost her mother to pancreatic cancer, and built a full life as a health equity advocate and volunteer with PanCAN's Survivor Council and Health Equity Committee. In this episode, host Alisyn Camerota talks with Randi about what survivorship actually looks like a decade out — the monthly octreotide injections, the annual DOTATATE scans, the diabetes management, and the emotional weight of being both a patient and a caregiver. They also discuss why sharing your diagnosis with a wider circle can matter, how health equity shapes who gets to access good care, and why the five-year mark is not, in fact, the finish line.

    AI and Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer

    What if artificial intelligence could catch pancreatic cancer before a radiologist's eye does? In this episode of PancChat, host Alisyn Camerota speaks with Dr. Elliot Fishman, professor in the Departments of Radiology and Radiological Science, Oncology, and Surgery at Johns Hopkins Medicine, member of the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, and co-principal investigator of the FELIX Project for Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer. Dr. Fishman shares how AI-powered imaging tools are being trained to detect tumors as small as two centimeters — and why that capability could save tens of thousands of lives a year. He also discusses the FELIX 2.0 project, the challenge of scaling AI across different hospital systems, and how AI is already transforming cancer care beyond pancreatic cancer, from mammography to drug development.

    Screening and Surveillance

    Pancreatic cancer is most often caught late — but that is starting to change. In this episode of PancChat, host Alisyn Camerota sits down with Dr. Raymond Wadlow, a gastrointestinal oncologist at the Inova Schar Cancer Institute and director of the High Risk Pancreatic Clinic, to talk about what screening and surveillance actually mean for people at elevated risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Dr. Wadlow walks through who qualifies for screening, which genetic mutations and family history patterns matter, and what the current imaging protocols look like. He also explains the promise and limitations of blood-based tests in development, the challenges of interval cancers, and how the PRECEDE consortium — now spanning 64 sites worldwide — is working to prove that finding this disease earlier saves lives.

    Immunotherapy and Personalized Treatments

    So far, immunotherapy has been a game-changer in other cancers but not pancreatic cancer. Is that finally changing? In this episode of PancChat, host Alisyn Camerota sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Jaffee, deputy director of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins and chief medical advisor of the Lustgarten Foundation. Dr. Jaffee breaks down the science behind pancreatic cancer's resistance to immunotherapy, the promise of cancer vaccines, and the emergence of KRAS inhibitors as a new class of targeted therapies. After thirty years in the field, she shares why she is more optimistic than ever. PancChat is a collaboration between Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer and PanCAN.
