Understanding Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is known for its aggressive nature and often presents with few symptoms until it reaches advanced stages. This cancer begins in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ responsible for producing digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin. Here are key facts about pancreatic cancer:
- Incidence Rate: About 60,000 new cases are diagnosed annually in the United States.
- Risk Factors: Age, smoking, obesity, family history, and certain genetic syndromes can increase the risk.
- Symptoms: Common symptoms include jaundice, weight loss, abdominal pain, and changes in appetite.
Our Approach to Treatment
At our pancreatic cancer treatment center, we employ a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treatment. This includes:
1. Personalized Treatment Plans
Every patient is unique, and so are their treatment needs. Our expert oncologists work closely with patients to design personalized treatment plans that consider the following:
- Type and Stage of Cancer: Understanding the specific characteristics of the cancer plays a crucial role in dictating treatment strategies.
- Patient’s Health Status: Comorbid conditions, overall health, and patient preferences are taken into account.
- Genetic Profiling: Testing for specific genetic mutations can guide the choice of targeted therapies.
2. Cutting-Edge Therapies
Our center utilizes the latest advancements in cancer treatment, including:
- Surgery: Surgical options include Whipple procedure, distal pancreatectomy, and total pancreatectomy, aimed at removing tumors and surrounding tissues.
- Chemotherapy: Advanced chemotherapy regimens and combination therapies help target cancer cells and limit their spread.
- Radiation Therapy: Techniques such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) offer targeted approaches to shrink tumors pre-surgery or to alleviate symptoms.
- Immunotherapy: Innovative treatments that harness the body’s immune system to fight cancer are becoming increasingly available and can offer new hope.
3. Supportive Care
Combatting pancreatic cancer is not just about treating the disease; it is also about enhancing quality of life. Our support services include:
- Nutritional Counseling: Specialized dietary recommendations can help patients manage symptoms and maintain strength during treatment.
- Pain Management: Our team employs various modalities to control pain and improve comfort.
- Psychosocial Support: Counseling services assist patients and their families in coping with emotional challenges associated with cancer.
