ClinConnect Summary

The STRONG-PCS trial is studying a program designed to support people with pancreatic cancer after they have surgery. This program offers extra help from dietitians to improve nutrition and overall well-being for patients as they recover. The goal is to see how well the program works and how satisfied participants feel about the support they receive.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. You must have undergone a specific type of surgery at Moffitt Cancer Center and be able to eat solid food afterward. Additionally, you should be able to understand either English or Spanish and give your permission to join the study. If you meet these criteria, you can expect to receive personalized nutrition guidance and support tailored to your needs as you heal. This trial is currently looking for participants, so if you or a loved one is interested, you might be a good fit!
