How about UAB in Birmingham, Ala.
I know there are at least two noted physicians there offering pancreas cancer treatment.

The company that is proposing the trial is trying to focus on community-based smaller clinics for addressing the needs of underserved communities. They are looking for clinics in locations where travel is not burdensome in getting to major settings. Ideally the clinic site would be able to do an EUS procedure as this is needed to insert alpha particle emitting tiny hollow tubes into the pancreatic tumor for destroying it.

Do you know if UAB has some suburban or rural clinics as part of their health system network and a contact name of that organization? That would be very helpful
