Why do Pancreatic Cancer Treatment at Dr. Farmakis' Surgery Clinic?
Overview
Pancreatic cancer, increasingly common especially in men over 60, ranks as the 4th leading cancer cause of death, primarily adenocarcinoma (85% cases) located in the pancreatic head (2/3). Diagnosis uses CA 19-9 markers and imaging (ultrasound, CT/MRI/PET/ERCP/endoscopic ultrasound, laparoscopy) to assess resectability. Primary treatment for resectable tumors is surgery—Whipple pancreatoduodenectomy (head) or distal pancreatectomy (body/tail)—often with adjuvant chemotherapy.What is Included
• Diagnosis: CA 19-9 blood tests, imaging (CT/MRI/PET/ERCP/endoscopic ultrasound), laparoscopy for staging/resectability. • Surgical resection: Whipple procedure (head tumors) or distal pancreatectomy (body/tail). • Adjuvant chemotherapy to reduce recurrence risk. • Genetic/hereditary risk evaluation.What to Expect
Multi-modal imaging confirms diagnosis/stage; resectable cases undergo surgery followed by chemo. Expect 7-10 day hospital stay (1 day ICU), pain control, complication monitoring (e.g., pancreatic fistula), and regular follow-ups for recovery/response/recurrence detection.Duration
7-10 days hospital stay including 1 day in intensive care.Location
