Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most fatal cancers in the United States. Currently, it is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths, and it is estimated that by 2030, it will be the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths behind lung cancer. It has poor overall survival rates, even with aggressive treatment. Quality of life is low in this patient population, due to poor prognosis at diagnosis and complex symptomatology. The purpose of this article is to explore the role of the advanced practitioner in the diagnosis, treatment, and symptom management of pancreatic cancer.
