Treatment:
At the time of diagnosis, only about 20% of pancreatic tumors can be removed by surgery. The standard procedure is called a pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure).
When the tumor is confined to the pancreas but cannot be removed, a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be recommended.
When the tumor has spread (metastasized) to other organs such as the liver, chemotherapy alone is usually used.
For patients with biliary obstruction and when the tumor cannot be totally removed, the blockage must be relieved.
Two approaches are used for this:
Surgery
Placement of a tiny metal tube (biliary stent), to relieve blockages during ERCP
Management of pain and other symptoms is an important part of treating advanced pancreatic cancer.
Prognosis:
This cancer has a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%, meaning 95% of the people diagnosed with it will not be alive 5 years later.
