pancreatic adenocarcinoma

A person who has been diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma should ask the doctor the following questions:

* Where is my cancer located?
* How far has the cancer spread?
* What treatment options do I have?
* What is the overall goal of treatment in my case?
* If the expectation of therapy is not to cure the cancer, then when should I consider hospice or palliative care and what do I need to know about advance directives?
* What are the risks and side effects of the proposed treatment?
* Am I eligible for a clinical trial? How do I find out?
