“…Pancreatic cancer is a complex disease with an unpromising prognosis, which complicates postoperative treatment and care [18,19] . The multidisciplinary care model not only gives full play to the professional advantages of each department and effectively solves patients' care problems, but also promotes technical exchanges between departments and the growth and learning of the departments themselves through mutual assistance and cooperation [20,21] .…”

Objective:To analyze the effects of multidisciplinary specialized nursing care on the short and longterm postoperative quality of life in patients with pancreatic cancer.Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial. In this study, 88 patients with pancreatic cancer who were treated at our hospital between January 2021 and January 2022 were recruited and allocated 1:1 either to receive into routine nursing care (n=44, routine group) or interdisciplinary specialist nursing care (n=44, study group). The outcome measures in both groups included surgery-related indices, short and long-term quality of life, and adverse responses.Results: There were no participants who dropped out of this study due to treatment intolerance, nor were there any additional participants. Patients in the study group had significantly shorter recovery time from gastrointestinal function, bed rest and hospital stay than those in the conventional group (P<0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the quality of life between the two groups (P>0.05); 3 months and 1 year after the intervention, the quality of life of patients in the study group was higher than that of patients in the conventional group (P<0.05). The overall incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the study group than in the conventional group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Multidisciplinary specialized nursing care produces an ideal clinical outcome for postoperative patients with pancreatic cancer. It substantially reduces recovery time, boosts short and long-term postoperative quality of life, and diminishes the incidence of adverse reactions in patients. This protocol merits clinical application.

European Cancer Organisation Essential Requirements for Quality Cancer Care (ERQCC) are written by experts representing all disciplines involved in cancer care in Europe. They give patients, health professionals, managers and policymakers a guide to essential care throughout the patient journey.Pancreatic cancer is an increasing cause of cancer mortality and has wide variation in treatment and care in Europe. It is a major healthcare burden and has complex diagnosis and treatment challenges. Care must be carried out only in pancreatic cancer units or centres that have a core multidisciplinary team (MDT) and an extended team of health professionals detailed here. Such units are far from universal in European countries.To meet European aspirations for comprehensive cancer control, healthcare organisations must consider the requirements in this paper, paying particular attention to multidisciplinarity and patient-centred pathways from diagnosis, to treatment, to survivorship. Introduction: The need for quality frameworksThere has been a growing emphasis on driving up quality in cancer organisations given variations in outcomes in Europe. The European Code of Cancer Practice, produced by a partnership of patients, advocates and cancer professionals, has recognised disparities in the quality of cancer management and comprises 10 rights that patients should expect from their healthcare systems for optimal care throughout the
