A member asked:
Are there any prescription pancreatic cancer drugs that are not experimental (by insurance companies) after chemotherapy does not work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to oncologist : Pancreatic cancer treatment regimens are always changing, as more scientific data is accumulated. Your oncologist will be on top of the latest data concerning treatment of this disease. In addition, your doctor will know your other medical issues and be able to synthesize everything together to make the best recommendations for you. Good luck.
