What is Pancreatic Cancer?
The pancreas is in the upper
abdomen and lies behind the
stomach and intestines (guts). The shape of the
pancreas is like a tadpole, and so
the pancreas has a head', a 'body'
and a 'tail'. The head section is nearest to
the duodenum (the part of the gut just
after the stomach). The pancreas
makes a fluid that contains
enzymes (chemicals) that are needed to digest
food. The enzymes are made in the pancreatic
cells and are passed into tiny ducts (tubes).
These ducts join together like branches of a tree
to form the main pancreatic duct. This drains the
enzyme-rich fluid into the duodenum. The enzymes
are in an inactive form in the pancreas
(otherwise they would digest the pancreas). They
are 'activated' in the duodenum to digest food.

Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer
Ultrasound  An Ultrasound scan uses
high-frequency sound waves to produce an image
of the inside of your body. Computerised
Tomography (CT) Scan  A computerised tomography
(CT) scan is able to produce a detailed image of
the inside of your body using a series of X-ray
images. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan
 A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan also
produces an image of the inside of your body, but
uses strong magnetic and radio waves instead of
X-ray images. Endoluminal Ultrasonography
(EUS)  If a small shadow is seen on a CT or MRI
scan but it is not obvious what this is, another
test can be performed called endoluminal
ultrasonography (EUS). Endoscopic Retrograde
Cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) Endoscopic
retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a
procedure used to insert a plastic tube or stent
into the bile duct if someone has jaundice.
Laparoscopy A laparoscopy is a surgical
procedure that allows the surgeon to access the
inside of the abdomen (tummy) and the pelvis.
Biopsy  A Biopsy involves taking a small sample
of cancerous cells from a suspected tumour.
These cells can then be tested in a laboratory to
see if they are cancerous (malignant) or
non-cancerous (benign).

• Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer at Top Cancer
  Hospitals in India
• Surgery Surgery may be used to remove all or
  part
• of the pancreas. If a cancer has not
  metastasized, it is
• possible to completely cure a patient by
  surgically
• removing the cancer from the body. There are
  three
• main surgical procedures that are used when it
  seems
• possible to remove all of the cancer 
• Whipple Procedure  The Pancreas head, and
  sometimes the entire organ, is removed along with
  a portion of the stomach, duodenum, lymph nodes,
  and other tissue. The procedure is complex and
  risky with complications such as leaking,
  infections, bleeding, and stomach problems.
• Distal Pancreatectomy  A Distal Pancreatectomy
  is where the bottom half of the pancreas is
  removed by a surgical procedure. The most
  frequent reason for performing a distal
  pancreatectomy is the presence of a tumor in the
  body or tail of the pancreas.
• Central Pancreatectomy In a Central
  Pancreatectomy, a tumor in the neck or body of
  the pancreas is removed while preserving the
  healthy head and tail of the pancreas.
• Total Pancreatectomy  In a Total
  Pancreatectomy, the entire pancreas is removed.
  Similar to a Whipple procedure, a portion of the
  stomach, duodenum, gallbladder, and local lymph
  nodes are also removed. The spleen may be removed
  as well. This procedure is used when malignant
  cells have invaded most of the pancreatic tissue.

Laparoscopy  The minimally invasive surgical
techniques of laparoscopy are normally used
directly before a scheduled pancreatic resection
to determine if a more invasive operation is the
best course of action. Since metastases can
sometimes be missed on CT, MRI or other imaging
studies, laparoscopy is a reliable way to check
for metastasis to other organs. If metastases
are found and the surgeon decides an operation
is not the best course of action, then the
patient will have a shorter recovery time
compared to that of a major surgery and will be
in better shape to receive alternate forms of
treatment.  Chemotherapy  Chemotherapy uses
drugs to help kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy
can be injected into a vein or taken orally.
Chemotherapy can also be combined with radiation
therapy (chemoradiation). Chemoradiation is
typically used to treat cancer that has spread
beyond the pancreas, but only to nearby organs
and not to distant regions of the body. This
combination may also be used after surgery to
reduce the risk of recurrence of pancreatic
cancer.     Radiation therapy  It destroys
cancer by focusing high-energy rays on the cancer
cells. This causes damage to the molecules that
make up the cancer cells and leads them to commit
suicide. Unlike chemotherapy which is a systemic
treatment, radiation therapy is a local treatment
meant to destroy only tumor cells. During the
treatment, a beam of radiation is directed
through the abdomen to the cancerous area. The
radiation is similar to that used for diagnostic
X-rays, only in a higher dose.
