Pancreatic Tumors & Pancreatic Cancer
Not every pancreatic lesion is the same. Accurate diagnosis and staging are essential before deciding whether surgery is appropriate.
When surgery may be considered
The type and timing of surgery depend on the tumor’s location, pathology and involvement of nearby structures. The overall treatment plan is carefully reviewed before an operation is recommended.
Multidisciplinary care
Surgery is considered as part of the complete treatment plan.
Depending on the diagnosis, care may involve medical oncology, radiation oncology, gastroenterology, radiology, pathology and other specialties.
