At the Methodist Surgical Oncology Clinic, a nurse navigator will help coordinate your care and serve as a resource at every appointment by answering questions and walking you through your treatment plan. Our multidisciplinary approach has deemed Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center a National Pancreas Foundation (NPF) Center of Excellence. It’s the only center in Nebraska and Iowa and one of 50+ highly-esteemed centers nationwide to receive such recognition.

It’s better to have one surgeon doing certain procedures 20 or 30 times a year rather than 20 or 30 surgeons doing them once a year. But it’s just as important to have a health system that knows how to care for patients before, during and after surgery.
