Patient Referral List
The World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition recommends that pancreatic cancer patients have their symptom management and supportive care needs addressed at all stages of treatment.
Access to healthcare professionals who are experienced in treating pancreatic cancer can improve outcomes and is critical for the quality of life of patients.
We have created a list of institutions in Canada that have practitioners experienced in treating pancreatic cancer. We recommend receiving consultation at one of these centres.
NOTE: This list is not exhaustive. If you are a healthcare professional and would like your name included please contact us at info@craigscause.ca

Digest This! PERT Calculator
We are very excited to have collaborated with the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation to bring you the Digest This! Online Calculator.
The calculator will calculate your maximum recommended PERT dosage per day using your weight and enzyme prescription as inputs in the Patient Profile section. This information will need to be entered each time since many people with PEI will have frequent weight and/or prescription changes.
Next, you will be prompted to enter the food & beverage items you are consuming for each meal.
Finally, our app will analyze the lipase units required to optimize your digestion and will calculate a custom PERT dosage based on your specific prescription.
