Management of Patients With Pancreatic Cancer Using the "Right Track" Model.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic cancer is one of the few cancer types in the US with incidence and death rates continuing to rise. As the disease threatens to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the country, it is imperative to review the best practices currently available to extend and improve patient lives. To provide a roadmap for healthcare professionals detecting, diagnosing, and caring for patients with pancreatic cancer as a supplement to national guidelines focused on recommended treatment regimens, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN)'s Scientific and Medical Affairs staff and expert Scientific and Medical Advisory Board have created a series of position statements. The statements are based upon scientific evidence and clinical observations published in the literature
