Pancreatic cancer surgeon-scientist who directs UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center.
Diane M. Simeone, MD, is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and Professor of Surgery and Pharmacology. She is a surgical oncologist and pancreatic cancer researcher whose work spans pancreatic cancer stem cells, early detection in high-risk individuals and the Precision Promise adaptive platform trial. She previously directed the Pancreatic Cancer Center at NYU Langone.
The current honest statement of where early detection stands: no blood test is ready, and the research is about finding the threshold at which to operate.
PRECEDE is the infrastructure answer to CAPS's problem: no single centre can enrol enough high-risk people to validate an early detection test.
The rulebook behind the CAPS cohorts and the UK EUROPAC programme; it is also the reason surveillance for carriers is not yet a routine NHS service, because the consortium itself asked for it to stay within research until benefit was shown.
