Types of treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer in Turkey and Istanbul?

Different types of treatment are available for patients with pancreatic cancer. They include:

• Chemotherapy: it is employed to kill cancer cells and it intends to expand a person's lifespan. The drugs ,that can be either oral or intravenous, are administered by the doctor. The cancer cells in the pancreas and those that have spread to other organs are eliminated by the drugs.
• Chemoradiation therapy: is a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy that is recommended by the medical team. The cancer spreading to organs near the pancreas is treated through this technique. Tumors can be lessened before or after surgery by radiation treatment.

What are the factors that affect prognosis?

In Turkey Hospitals, the prognosis relies on the following:

• Whether or not the tumor can be removed by surgery.
• The stage of the cancer (the size of the tumor and whether the cancer has spread to other places in the body).
• The patient’s general health.
• Whether the cancer has just been diagnosed or has recurred. 

The surgeon can completely get rid of the pancreatic cancer  if it is discovered at an early stage. However, palliative treatment can be prescribed to control the indications and drawbacks of this disease provided that the cancer has spread.

What are the risks of surgery ?

The  risks of surgery for pancreatic cancer are:

• Bleeding and the possible need for a blood transfusion and this can be managed by the medical team.
• Obtaining an infection such as a chest or wound infection. Some antibiotics are given in order to decrease this risk.
• Having a general anesthetic may lead to the risk of complications like having an allergy.
