The German Association of Pancreatectomy Patients (AdP, Geman: (German: Arbeitskreis der Pankreatektomierten) is a patient self-help group founded in 1976 by patients in Heidelberg. It is a national organisation registered with the District Court Bonn.[1][2] It is divided into five regional groups across the country.[2]

As a self-help organisation, the AdP supports patients who have a pancreatic disease or are suspected of having one. The aim of the AdP is to promote the health and rehabilitation of patients who have undergone partial or total pancreatectomy or who have not undergone surgery, with a particular focus on cancer patients and their relatives. 20,000 patients are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in Germany every year. It is one of the deadliest types of cancer and 90% of cases are terminal.[2] The AdP organises events for patients to meet other patients, provides assistance and advice to patients, and works to inform the public about pancreatic cancer.[2][3][4]

The non-profit organisation is supported by the German Cancer Aid Foundation (DKH)[5]. Doctors from all specialties and nutritional therapists have supported the AdP since its inception. The association has 1500 members and 60 regional groups throughout Germany.
