Pan Pantziarka

On this episode, we speak with SFA Director of Europe’s Strategy and Engagement, Pan Pantziarka. While he is an incredible staff member at SFA who supports SFA’s global work, he also has a sarcoma story of his own as a care partner to his son, George.

After George was diagnosed with three different primary cancers and passed in 2011, Pan quit his job in the corporate sector and found work in oncology. He is committed to making a difference using everything he can - scientific training, advocacy, and demand for change.

He speaks to us today about rare cancer predispositions, such as Li Fraumeni Syndrome, the story of George and his mother, why knowledge is power, and where he finds hope.

We are so lucky to not only have this conversation with Pan, but to have him on the team at SFA, striving for answers for sarcoma patients and their families.

Thank you Pan, for all you do for the sarcoma community.
