Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • All pancreatic cancer patients

You may not qualify if:

  • All 17 centers of the DPCG. These centers each perform \>20 pancreatoduodenectomies (PDs) annually. Each center already has a coordinating role for pancreatic cancer for its region. It is expected that the enhanced implementation of best practices will have an impact in the entire local network
