The UCLA Center for Pancreatic Diseases applies a multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and treatment of patients with pancreatic diseases.

Our relationship with the UCLA team began in 1998, when the first Hirshberg laboratory focusing on pancreatic cancer research was opened on campus under the direction of Howard A. Reber, MD, Department of Surgery. Referrals of patients with pancreatic diseases from the Hirshberg Foundation have immediate access to the resources of the Center.

The Center combines the expertise of physicians from surgery, gastroenterology, radiology, medical oncology, and pathology who are specialized in pancreatic diseases. The Center's surgeons all perform a high volume of pancreatic operations per year and are experts in advanced laparosopy. The Center's gastroenterologists are specially trained in hepatobiliary endoscopy, including endoscopic ultrasound. There are clinical nurse coordinators who help to facilitate patient care. Patients have access to all of the resources at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. As a result of our approach, our patients experience superb outcomes.
