More than 110 cancer programs have earned the National Pancreas Foundation’s Center of Excellence designation for pancreatic cancer care.
To qualify, centers must pass an audit and have a multidisciplinary pancreatic cancer team, including oncologists, pancreatic surgeons, advanced endoscopists and genetics specialists, according to the foundation’s application for the designation.
The designation also requires minimum surgical volumes, a gastrointestinal tumor board that meets regularly, and access to palliative care, nutrition and psychosocial support. Read the foundation’s full criteria here.
