Pancreatic Cancer

Treatment in Florida

Mayo Clinic in Florida is one of the largest centers in the Southeast for diagnosing and treating pancreatic disease. Every patient meets with a dedicated team of specialists, including leading gastroenterologists, medical and radiation oncologists, surgeons, radiologists and nutritionists, and can usually receive a full evaluation in just two or three days.

Mayo physicians are highly sensitive to the concerns and needs of pancreatic cancer patients and their families and do everything possible to provide individualized and caring treatment in the shortest time possible.

Mayo Clinic in Florida is internationally known for its extraordinary diagnostic capabilities. Pancreas Clinic physicians perform more than 1500 endoscopic ultrasounds annually. This minimally invasive procedure allows doctors to remove tissue samples and stage tumors with great accuracy as well as to perform celiac plexus neurolysis, a therapy that helps relieve severe pain.

Mayo Clinic in Florida has some of the most experienced laparoscopic general surgeons in the United States and successfully treats patients who might not be considered candidates for surgery at other medical centers. This includes patients requiring vein or arterial grafting.

Every pancreatic cancer patient at Mayo Clinic in Florida has a dedicated palliative care team, and families receive ongoing emotional and practical support. Serving both U.S. and international patients, the clinic works closely with local doctors to maintain a full spectrum of care for patients, their families and caregivers.
