Standard of care frequency of doing a scan to assess efficacy of treatment is 3 months. If receiving (m)Folfirinox, it would be after the sixth cycle. If receiving Gemzar/Abraxane, it would be after the third cycle which is nine infusions.

If the first regimen fails, an oncologist may schedule a scan after two months of the second regimen being used.
