Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal malignancy with limited treatment options. Communicating risks and benefits in detail related to each treatment option as a part of the informed consent process is crucial to actively engage patients in their care process. Older age and emotional distress after diagnosis may impair cognitive impairment and compromise their autonomy in making an informed decision. Involvement of a multi-disciplinary team in the care process and supplementing various treatment option discussions with visual illustrations may help in simplifying complex information and improving patient understanding.
