Pancreatic cancer
treatment survey
Have you been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer?
By completing this ten-minute, anonymous survey about a particular medication
treatment used in pancreatic cancer, you may be able to help us identify better access
to treatments for all New Zealanders with pancreatic cancer.
We want to use this survey to identify who has been offered Pancreatic Enzyme
Replacement Therapy (PERT). The pancreas is important in digestion and PERT is a
treatment that can help people with pancreatic cancer digest their kai.
We have little information in Aotearoa New Zealand about who is being offered this
medicine and how it is being taken. Our goal is to identify who does and does not
have access to this treatment and how we might improve access to those who need it.
This national survey is being conducted by investigators at the University of Otago.
The survey has been approved by a Human Research Ethics Committee.
If you have any questions or issues with the survey
