Right now, half of pancreatic cancer patients are not getting the prescription they need to be able to digest their food. Together we can change this.
When cancer affects the pancreas, it can reduce the number of enzymes it produces to break down food. The body begins to starve – unless pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is prescribed. PERT enables food to be digested, building tolerance to treatment. It reduces debilitating digestive symptoms and improves the quality of patients’ lives. It’s vital that all healthcare professionals consider PERT for their pancreatic cancer patients.
