Pancreatic cancer can't wait for typical appointment delays. Your advocate expedites consultations with pancreatic specialists, coordinates swift second opinions, and ensures immediate treatment planning. They understand that days matter with this aggressive cancer.
Only 20% of pancreatic cancers are surgical candidates, but surgery offers the best hope. Your advocate coordinates comprehensive surgical evaluation, connects you with high-volume pancreatic surgeons, and expedites necessary testing. They help determine surgical options quickly.
Standard treatments for pancreatic cancer have limited success, making trials important. Your advocate researches trial opportunities, coordinates eligibility screening, and manages enrollment logistics. They help you access experimental treatments that might extend survival.

With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
Tumors initially deemed unresectable might become surgical after chemotherapy, offering hope for cure. Solace advocates coordinate aggressive neoadjuvant treatment, monitor response for conversion to surgery, and connect with surgeons willing to attempt complex resections. They ensure regular reassessment for surgery, coordinate vascular reconstruction teams if needed, and maximize chances for curative surgery. Your advocate pursues every opportunity for surgical cure.
Pancreatic cancer causes severe pain, digestive problems, and diabetes requiring specialized management. Solace advocates coordinate celiac plexus blocks for pain, ensure pancreatic enzyme replacement, and manage new-onset diabetes. They address jaundice and bile duct obstruction, coordinate nutritional support for weight loss, and ensure comprehensive symptom control. Your advocate manages the multiple effects of pancreatic cancer.
Some pancreatic cancers have targetable mutations offering better treatment options than standard chemotherapy. Solace advocates ensure comprehensive tumor genetic testing, identify actionable mutations like BRCA or MSI-H, and navigate access to targeted therapies. They coordinate off-label drug use when appropriate, connect with precision oncology programs, and ensure you benefit from personalized treatment. Your advocate explores every avenue for effective treatment.
Pancreatic cancer's aggressiveness requires coordinated teams working quickly and efficiently together. Solace advocates assemble multidisciplinary teams rapidly, ensure all specialists understand the urgency, and coordinate parallel rather than sequential evaluations. They manage communications between providers, expedite insurance approvals, and remove any delays. Your advocate creates the rapid response needed for pancreatic cancer.
