The web Directory of Information Materials for People Affected by Cancer is regularly updated and currently has details of over 1,900 booklets, leaflets, books and audiovisual materials for people affected by cancer. Most have been published in the last five years but we have included some older ones that are still useful.
Pancreatic Cancer UK
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has produced guidelines for health professionals diagnosing and caring for people with pancreatic cancer. These guidelines are for the most common type of pancreatic cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Health professionals don’t have to follow these guidelines, but they must take them into account when making decisions about care. They should also take your needs and wishes into account.
