Abstract
Background: Due to centralization of pancreatic surgery patients with suspected pancreatic cancer may undergo their diagnostic workup spread over a non-pancreatic expert center and a pancreatic expert center. This may cause delay in the diagnostic phase, repetition of diagnostic investigations, and eventually an increased time to initiate treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate how many patients suspected of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have a multicenter diagnostic workup and to assess whether this is associated with a repetition of diagnostic investigations, a prolonged diagnostic phase and treatment delay.
