Treatments

Once a patient is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the next step is to determine what stage the cancer is in in order to discuss the patient's treatment options. Treatments could consist of surgery, ablation or embolization, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and/or pain control options.

Available options for treatment of the cancer depend heavily on whichever stage the cancer is in at the time of diagnosis, the patient's age and expected life span, and any other serious conditions the patient may have.
