More than 30,000 people in the United States and 60,000 Europeans
will learn that they have pancreatic cancer this year.
The Pancreatic Duct is intended to offer a solid introduction
to pancreatic cancer. It is intended to provide credible information
about pancreatic cancer to enable the patient and their loved
ones to learn about the disease. To help them to understand and
better accept what is happening to them. And to help them participate
effectively as an active part of their health care team.
Information about the founder of this site and his experiences
