Why choose CommonSpirit for Pancreatic Cancer Care?
Pancreatic cancer can be complex, but new advancements in medicine provide more options than ever. Our approach focuses on personalized care, addressing the unique needs of each patient. While specific treatments may vary depending on the stage and type of pancreatic cancer, our commitment to providing hope and healing remains constant.
Nonsurgical treatment
Chemotherapy or targeted therapies may be recommended to shrink tumors, manage symptoms or slow the disease’s progression. Surgery and chemotherapy are often the most effective treatments for pancreatic cancer. Your care team may include medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons and genetic counselors working together to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Surgical options
Surgery, such as the Whipple procedure, is a potential option for some patients when the cancer is localized. Our team collaborates with specialists to assess surgical eligibility. If surgery isn’t available locally, we’ll help connect you with trusted surgical experts.
Reliable imaging technology
Accurate diagnosis is essential. Using advanced imaging and diagnostic techniques, we can help determine the cancer's stage and guide treatment decisions, giving us a clearer picture for effective treatment.

Advancing Pancreatic Cancer Care
We provide genetic testing if you have a family member who had pancreatic cancer. In some cases, the disease runs in families. If testing reveals you’re at high risk for pancreatic cancer, your doctor may recommend regular screening tests.
