Abstract
Background: The diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is usually associated with a poor prognosis. It is mostly diagnosed late and at an advanced stage. A cure is therefore not possible in most cases. Accordingly, the doctor-patient relationship (DPR) in pancreatic cancer is of particular importance: as the primary advisor, the treating physician is responsible not only for making the diagnosis but also for deciding whether pancreatic cancer should be treated curatively, neo-adjuvantly, or palliatively. At best, the decision is made following the patient's beliefs and wishes.
