Specialized doctors worldwide

Who is conducting research into pancreatic cancer? Everyone listed here comes from a public registry: either as a principal investigator of a study on ClinicalTrials.gov, or as a last author of publications in PubMed. These are two different things, so we list them in two separate lists side by side rather than combining them into one figure.

Where these doctors work
Click or point to a dot to see who works there. 25 of the 77 doctors are shown on the map — we only place those who work at an institute whose city we know, and we do not guess for the rest.

This is not a referral and not a judgment on care. We know nothing about how these people treat, whether they accept patients, or how to reach them. We do not display contact details. If you want a second opinion or a referral, go through your own specialist.
