Care Strategies -



                Nursing care for pancreatic cancer really isn’t much different than nursing care for any other type of cancer; it depends on the stage and progression of the disease. If it’s very late stage and terminal, the focus is on keeping the patient comfortable and as pain and anxiety free as possible. If it’s still relatively early the care will focus on education about treatment options and lifestyle changes (e.g. quitting smoking or drinking etc.). 

               This website nursing.advanceweb.com has the latest info on nursing care for patients. It’s also an actual continuing education course for which you can get credited if you desire (and are a health professional) though the site is available to everyone. The site is updated often so you are sure to get the latest information. 


               Take Good Care…
