In this final installment of our special 3-part Living Hope series with Hoag Family Cancer Institute, we welcome Dr. Sourat Darabi, Ph.D., M.S., Director of Precision Oncology at Hoag.

Dr. Darabi takes us deeper into genomics and research — showing how cutting-edge science is shaping the future of pancreatic cancer care.

She shares insights on:
🔹 How genomics builds on genetics to study the whole picture of cancer development.
🔹 The promise of biomarkers and RNA sequencing in detecting pancreatic cancer earlier.
🔹 Research into sequencing technologies that can uncover mutations current clinical tests may miss.
🔹 The challenges and opportunities in creating reliable early detection tools.
🔹 How discoveries in the lab are translating into real hope for patients and families.

On this episode of Living Hope: Your Journey with Pancreatic Cancer, we welcome Dr. Michael Demeure, Medical Director of Precision Medicine at Hoag Family Cancer Institute.

Dr. Demeure explains how precision medicine—using DNA sequencing to identify genetic drivers of cancer—can help doctors choose more effective treatments with fewer side effects. He discusses the importance of early detection and Hoag’s High-Risk Pancreatic Cancer Program, which screens patients with inherited mutations or family history using advanced tools like MRI and endoscopic ultrasound.

We explore how genetic testing benefits both patients and their families, the role of tumor boards in guiding treatment decisions, and promising research on AI, vaccines, and engineered immune cells. Dr. Demeure also shares his journey into precision medicine and why he is passionate about advancing pancreatic cancer care.
