Abstract

<p>We have had a support group for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer receiving chemotherapy in our hospital since 2014. We review how a mutual support system based on group dynamics could work for individuals with a limited prognosis and how it could assist in decision making. In addition, we consider what is essential for the practice of evidence based medicine for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer patients and discuss what kind of medical treatment should be considered to be the end point of treatment of such patients, "Patient happiness and maximum satisfaction" through specific examples.</p>
