Besides sponsoring the SOS Pancreatic Support Group, the Foundation specializes in funding crucial Pre-clinical trial research and Clinical Trials that seek life-saving innovative treatment. It also spreads public awareness o ways to help avoid getting this brutal disease by minimizing risk factors and emphasizing the critical importance of genetic counseling and testing. Pancreatic cancer is a heredity disease caused by genetic mutations. Blood relatives and offspring of pancreatic cancer patients should be genetically tested to find out if they may be carrying the culprit gene mutation that may predispose them to getting pancreatic cancer. The Foundation brings pancreatic cancer patients together with some of the world’s most renowned pancreatic cancer experts once a year at its main annual event. Visit The Seena Magowitz Foundation.
