Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults over 18 who speak Spanish or English and have a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals unable to read Spanish or English, or those with certain severe psychiatric conditions or other factors that could affect participation may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional study examines a web-based psychosocial support program (ePSMI) for people with pancreatic cancer. Participants will be adults who speak Spanish or English and can read in one of those languages. Enrollment is limited to those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. The study is led by the University of Miami with collaboration from the U.S. Army MRDC, and will occur at University of Miami in Miami, FL.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience lower stress and improved coping during cancer treatment.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work has explored digital psychosocial support in cancer; this study seeks to test a similar web-based approach specifically for pancreatic cancer.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Greater than 18 years of age. 2. Spanish or English speaker with ability to read one of these languages. 3. Diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. 4. Patients diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients unable to read Spanish or English, as participants will not be unable to complete surveys. 2.
