Generally, this type of cancer has no such early symptoms, therefore, it becomes difficult to detect this cancer until cancer has metastasized. After detection, the oncologists decide the mode to treatment depending upon the size and location of the tumor, whether cancer has spread, and the patient’s overall health condition. In the case of early detection, pancreatic cancer surgery in India needs to be followed with chemotherapy or radiotherapy for a complete cure.
Pancreatic Cancer Treatment in India can be conducted in many ways depending on the position and size of the cancerous tumor within the pancreas. Some of the treatment procedures are as follows:
Whipple procedure: when the cancer is confined to the widest part of the pancreas, the best option is to remove the head of the pancreas and part of the small intestine, bile duct, and stomach and then the digestive tract and biliary system reconnected.
Distal pancreatectomy: Here the surgeons prefer to remove the tail and body of the pancreas, as well as the spleen.
Total pancreatectomy: in case this surgery, the surgeons take away the complete pancreas along with common bile duct, gallbladder, spleen, a section of small intestine and stomach.
