Quality of Life Among Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: A Prospective Nationwide Multicenter Study.

Background: Health care providers of patients with cancer should discuss the impact of treatment, such as multiagent chemotherapy and surgery, on quality of life (QoL). However, in the era of shared decision-making, data on QoL in locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) remain scarce.

Methods: We performed a prospective multicenter study involving patients with LAPC across 13 Dutch centers.
