Treatment
Options
There are several methods of treatment
for people with pancreatic cancer, depending on the type and stage
of the cancer. The patient may be treatment with surgery,
radiation therapy, chemotherapy, biological therapies and/or complementary
and altertative therapies. Some patients may receive one or
more of these treatments. Clinical trials in pancreatic cancer
are also available and should also be considered when selecting
a treatment option.
It is important for people
diagnosed with pancreatic cancer to seek care from hospitals and/or
doctors that provide the best quality care. The best care
can be obtained through hospitals or doctors that are experienced
in caring for patients with pancreatic cancer. With more experience,
hospitals and doctors may have greater knowledge of the disease
and treatment options.
