Abstract: Ten percent of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy. It is known that these patients have unmet psychological support needs, and GPs are key in enabling effective coordination of care for people living with life-shortening conditions. Aim: To explore patients' perspectives on the role of primary care in their management, and their sources of support. Conclusion: Patients may feel a 'burden' to both healthcare professionals and their own support networks following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Primary care is in a key position to proactively offer psychological support.
