Abstract

Background: The optimal timing and setting for advance care planning (ACP) discussion is not well outlined for patients with high-risk malignancies, such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), who undergo curative intent resection. Cancer patients prefer to have ACP discussions with their primary care provider given their familiarity and desire to have these discussions earlier in their disease course. The aim of this study is to evaluate surgeons’ practices regarding the timing and setting for ACP.
