How can i survive pancreatic cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Clinical trial: I would suggest that you consider a clinical trial. Find a national cancer institute designated cancer center near you (www.Cancer.Gov) and consider enrolling in a clinical trial.

Survival: If there is no evidence of distant metastasis and it can be resected, the highest survival is achieved through surgical resection (whipples procedure) followed by chemotherapy +/- radiation.
