Overview
Pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer that usually has a poor prognosis because it is typically diagnosed at an advanced stage. Treatment options depend on the stage of the cancer, the patient’s overall health, and the size of the tumor. Common treatments may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies. Surgery is the most common form of treatment for early-stage pancreatic cancer and involves removing the tumor and surrounding tissue. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are used to shrink the tumor and reduce the risk of recurrence. Targeted therapies are newer treatments that focus on attacking and shrinking the tumor in a specific way. Pancreatic cancer treatments can help to improve patient outcomes and, in some cases, provide a cure.
