For pancreatic cancer, this is beyond their area of expertise. A consult should be with a pancreatic cancer oncologist which is a GI oncologist whose sub-specialty is cancers of the pancreas. Following are links for finding a pancreas cancer oncologist that practices in the high volume centers with a pancreas program. If the patient is relatively healthy enough to qualify for a clinical trial, it is the pancreatic cancer specialist who is in the best position to know of trials.

Thank you for your reply. We are at a major medical center, midwest. When I clicked to find providers of excellence from your post, I was surprised to find they werent on it! but another local hospital is! Soninlaw is now 4 1/2 years out from diagnosis and chemo radiation . Now having GI bleeding issues due to radiation damage, apparently.
