Cancer consultations

Pancreatic cancer consultation

Understand what the scans and biopsy show, what may guide treatment selection, and the questions for a second opinion.

Type and extent guide the discussion

The exact type of pancreatic cancer and how far it has spread help guide the treatment discussion. Common exocrine cancers and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors have different treatment pathways.

How I can help

A treatment plan tailored to your cancer, test results, overall health and preferences, informed by current evidence.

Review the diagnosis and surgical assessment

Bring pathology and imaging together to explain disease extent and whether surgery may be part of the plan. Discuss how chemotherapy may fit before or after an operation when surgery is appropriate.

Discuss tumor and inherited-gene testing

Explain the different roles of tumor molecular profiling and inherited-gene testing. Certain results can affect targeted-treatment choices; immunotherapy is relevant only for selected tumors with suitable biomarkers, such as MSI-H/dMMR.

Weigh the plan around your needs

Compare evidence-informed options in light of your overall health, previous treatment and preferences, including expected side effects and how response and organ function will be monitored.

Reports to bring, if available

Bring the reports you already have. This list does not mean every test is needed.

  • Biopsy or surgical pathology report, if available
  • Existing pancreas CT/MRI scans and reports
  • Any tumor molecular or inherited-gene test results
  • Previous treatment summaries and recent liver-function and CA 19-9 results, if available

Please also bring your medication list, previous treatment records, and questions.

Questions we can work through

  • What do the scans mean for the possible role of surgery?
  • Could tumor or inherited-gene testing change my treatment options?
  • How do the expected benefits and side effects fit my overall health?
