Creating Awareness<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next week in November we celebrate Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know that in the U.S. pancreatic cancer comprises just 3 percent of cancer cases, yet it accounts for 7 percent of fatalities? For those affected by the disease, information and support can be harder to find compared to more common forms of cancer. <\/span><\/p>\n

When Herb Kosten passed away in 2003, his family decided to form an organization to provide support and <\/span>awareness for pancreatic disease<\/span><\/a> in the Memphis area. The foundation has also provided half a million dollars in research funding to a local university.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the late Kosten\u2019s brother Alan says, the family could find no information about pancreatic cancer besides what the doctor told them.<\/span><\/p>\n

As proponents of individualized care and <\/span>integrative immuno-oncology<\/span><\/a>, we at Issels\u00ae support the idea that fighting cancer takes groundbreaking research as well as a holistic approach to patient care. In addition to funding research at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, the Herb Kosten Foundation hosts a support group for patients and family members. As the only pancreatic cancer support group within hundreds of miles, this provides a major source of comfort and empowerment to people who need it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Treatment for pancreatic cancer often involves a difficult surgery that takes an entire day and often leads to complications. With a mortality rate around 90 percent, those affected by the disease seek to rally awareness and support for additional research in the quest for a cure.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the <\/span>Issels\u00ae Center for Integrative Immuno-Oncology<\/span><\/a>, we continue to seek and improve personalized non-toxic treatments for pancreatic cancer and other aggressive forms of the disease. <\/span>Contact us<\/span><\/a> today to find out about our non-toxic treatments that combine immunotherapy and other alternative options available.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
