Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

In Karol Bagh, Delhi

Pancreatic cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the pancreas, an organ that plays a key role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It often progresses without early symptoms, which is why awareness of risk factors and prompt evaluation of symptoms matters greatly.

Symptoms

Symptoms can include abdominal or back pain, unexplained weight loss, jaundice, loss of appetite, and new-onset diabetes. Digestive issues, fatigue, and blood clots may also occur as the disease progresses.

Causes

Risk factors include smoking, chronic pancreatitis, obesity, diabetes, family history of pancreatic cancer, and certain inherited genetic syndromes. Age and a diet high in processed or red meat may also contribute.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests such as CT scan, MRI, or endoscopic ultrasound, along with blood tests and a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells.

Treatment

Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy, depending on how early the cancer is detected. M|O|C Cancer Care Center in Karol Bagh, Delhi, offers comprehensive pancreatic cancer care with a multidisciplinary and compassionate approach.
