Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February and then going through chemo ever since. I’ve been looking for options and hearing about a doctor Hopf At the hospital in Arizona involving clinical trials and such. I live in Florida and I’ve been being treated at Mayo in Jacksonville Does anybody have any insight about this doctor or clinical trials in Arizona? Thanks

I think you are speaking of Dr Von Hoff. He is a leader in the world of Pcan. He works out of Virginia Piper Cancer institute with another incredible physician, Dr Borazanski. They are located in Scottsdale. I did a consult with them in May.

I think you are referring to Daniel Von Hoff MD of HonorHealth in Phoenix. He is one of the ten most cited authors in scientific cancer publications. He is the pioneer of Gemzar and Gemzar/Abraxane and involved in the Biotech firm TGEN which is collaborating with NCI designated Center of Excellence City Of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center of Duarte, CA. Dr. Von Hoff is regarded as one of the leading pancreatic cancer specialists in the world.

@tomdecker1117, I might also add Mayo Clinic's Clinical Trial website. https://www.mayo.edu/research/clinical-trials

You can search for clinical trials for pancreatic cancer using the search tool on the site. But I think you might appreciate speaking with a cancer trial coordinator. Here's how:

What chemotherapy are you currently on, Tom? What stage is your pancreatic cancer?
