Imad Shureiqi, MD is an oncologist and researcher who specializes in gastrointestinal cancers including pancreatic cancer. In this week’s episode, Dr. Shureiqi goes into detail on the life-saving research he is doing at the University of Michigan’s Rogel Cancer Center.
In this fascinating and highly-educational episode, Dr. Shureiqi shares what makes pancreatic cancer survival rates so difficult to improve while also discussing what he hopes to be one of its weak points. He also discusses the relationship between pancreatic cancer outcomes and PPAR-Delta which also has a relationship to diet & exercise.
While Dr. Shureiqi explains his research well in the audio version of this episode, he also presents some slides and diagrams which you can find in the YouTube version. The visual component is available on Project Purple’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/channel/UCgA8nVhUY6_MLj5z3rnDQZQ.
