By improving hospital care pathways, researchers from MD Anderson Cancer Center successfully reduced inpatient opioid use by 50% after pancreatic cancer surgery and cut the median opioid prescription volumes at discharge to zero.
Project Purple, a national nonprofit dedicated to empowering the fight against pancreatic cancer, is launching the Pancreatic Cancer Research Recovery Support Grant. The initiative provides up to two years of bridge or rescue funding for promising pancreatic cancer research projects that were disrupted due to administrative funding policy changes at major federal agencies such as the NIH, the Department of Defense, or the National Science Foundation.
