Hi. Thank you for joining me. This is Dr. Kashif Piracha. And I’m going to be your host for this video. And this video is on the topic of pancreatic neoplasm, an algorithmic approach. My name is Dr. Kashif Piracha. I’m a double board certified physician in internal medicine and nephrology. I’m also a hypertension specialist. And I’m your host for this video.
And the reason that I made this video is twofold. I’m going to go over the algorithmic approach that is very helpful whenever I encounter a patient with symptoms concerning for a pancreatic neoplasm. So this approach helps me order the proper tests and arrive at the proper diagnosis in the most time efficient manner. And the other reason this approach is helpful is if I’m taking a test or a licensing exam, and I have a question about pancreatic neoplasm. Then I can use this approach to try to get to the right answer. So thank you for joining me. And without further hesitation, let’s go ahead and get started.
