Pancreatic Cancer Q&A with Dr. Stauffer, Mayo Surgeon: Archive
Allow me to introduce you to Dr. John Stauffer, a hepatobiliary and pancreas surgical oncologist at Mayo Clinic in Florida, one of the country's highest-volume surgical programs for advanced pancreatic cancer.
On Thursday, May 29 from 1:30-2:30pm ET, Dr. Stauffer will host a Q&A about surgical management of pancreatic cancer.
After a pancreatic cancer diagnosis, many people have questions about treatment options, including surgical and nonsurgical approaches. You may also want to know how an integrated team – including surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology and gastroenterology specialists – works together to prevent further cancer complications and preserve your quality of life.
Please note that this hour-long Q&A is for informational purposes only, and any concerns you have should be addressed to your treating physician. If you would like to learn about pancreas cancer care at our integrated program in Florida, please visit this page for information.
Submit your questions in advance in the comments below and Dr. Stauffer will reply during the hour-long Q&A event. See you back here on May 29.

1 ReactionWhat has been the recurrence rate of Nano-knife vs. Whipple? Why is the Whipple considered the better choice? If the cancer returns after Whipple, is Nano-knife still an option?
Does portal hypertension rule out any surgical options when Whipple Surgery has been ruled out for safety reasons? Is all abdomen surgery a risk?
Thank you, Nick
