Specialists & Cancer Centers
Seeing specialists, doctors who diagnose and treat a high volume of pancreatic cancer patients, improves outcomes.
Get a Second Opinion
You have a right to seek a second opinion. Seek a second opinion, as needed, at any point in your diagnosis.
Determine Your Best Treatment Options
Every pancreatic tumor is different. Patients who receive treatment based on their tumor’s biological characteristics have better outcomes. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network strongly recommends molecular profiling of your tumor to help determine the best treatment options. Our Case Managers can talk with you about molecular profiling and our Know Your Tumor precision medicine service.
Consider Clinical Trials
Clinical trials should be considered during every treatment decision, including at diagnosis. A PanCAN Patient Services Case Manager can help you start your search.
Learn How Clinical Trials Can Help
Pancreatic cancer patients who participate in clinical research have better outcomes. Every treatment available today was approved through a clinical trial. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network strongly recommends clinical trials at diagnosis and during every treatment decision.

Supportive Care
Seeing healthcare professionals who focus on symptom management and supportive care improves outcomes and is critical for your quality of life. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network strongly recommends that symptom management and supportive care should be provided early in your diagnosis as well as during and after treatment.
Diet and Nutrition
Good nutritional care improves outcomes and is critical for your quality of life. Seek good nutritional care, including access to pancreatic enzymes and a registered dietitian.
Connect with Others
Support for the pancreatic cancer patient is critical to improve quality of life and overall well-being. Having a support system of caregivers, family, friends, healthcare professionals and a patient advocate is important to address and manage the needs of the patient. Connect one-on-one, or explore support groups.
