Pancreas: Comic Biography of an Organ

The comic biography of the pancreas presented in this project integrates narrative-based medicine (NBM) with graphic storytelling to explore the subjective experiences of patients with pancreatic diseases. By combining scientific and humanistic perspectives, the comic format captures the complexity of illness, illustrating not only the physical but also the emotional and social challenges faced by patients. Using in-depth interviews and an interdisciplinary approach, the project transforms personal illness stories into visually engaging narratives, pro- moting greater public awareness and empathetic understanding of pancreatic conditions. This method bridges the gap between medical knowledge and personal experiences, offering a more inclusive and multidimensional representation of the disease.
