Disease Information At Johns Hopkins What's New Patient / Family Chat Room FAQs Advocacy

If you would like to obtain a surgical consult on a patient with a pancreas cancer or related problem please contact one of the surgeons below through their office. It is best if you call rather than email. Typically, prior to the patient going to Johns Hopkins for a surgical consultatiion, the patient's pertinent medical records, and either a hard copy or a CD of the patient's most recent CT or MRI scans and cholangiograms. If biopsies have been performed, we would also like to have the glass pathology slides also to review. These are best sent by overnight mail services so that they may be tracked.
