OncLive On Air is a podcast from OncLive®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care.

Dr Lenz is a professor of medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC), as well as the J. Terrence Lanni Chair in Gastrointestinal Cancer Research, co-director of the USC Center for Molecular Pathway and Drug Discovery, and co-director of the USC Norris Center for Cancer Drug Development in Los Angeles.

In our exclusive interview, Dr Lenz discussed the prevalence of RAS mutations in PDAC, the importance of biomarker testing, current treatment strategies for patients with RAS-mutant PDAC, and potential future treatment advances for patients with this disease.
