Pancreatic Cancer Surgery Q&A w/ Dr. Stauffer on September 4

Hi, Mayo Clinic Connect community!

I’m Dr. John Stauffer, a high-volume pancreatic surgical oncologist in the Pancreatic & HPB Surgery program at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.

Late next week, I’ll be participating in a text-style Q&A to answer your questions about pancreatic cancer surgery options, including the Whipple procedure, and anything else you're curious about.

Pancreatic cancer is a challenging diagnosis, but being able to care for patients facing this disease is a tremendous honor and brings profound meaning to my work.

Please note, while I’m happy to share information and general insights, this text-style Q&A is for educational purposes only and cannot provide personalized medical advice.

Please submit your written questions in advance by commenting on this thread before 12pm ET on Thursday, September 4.
