Advanced treatment for pancreatic cancer
Functions of the pancreas can be divided into two types – endocrine function and digestive function. The endocrine system function of the pancreas involves the secretion of hormones like insulin, glucagon, and more. The digestive function involves the secretion of digestive enzymes like lipase, amylase and more.
Pancreatic cancer The incidence of pancreatic cancer is more prevalent in people between the ages of 40 to 80. The cancer can form in any part of the pancreas.
If the cancer is present in the head portion of the pancreas, it might block the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts. The patients will present with malaria. Treatment involves removing the tumour with the head portion of the pancreas. This surgery is called Whipple surgery and this open surgery involves removing the head portion of the pancreas along with the duodenum and a portion of the bile ducts.
At Kauvery Hospital, the Whipple procedure is done through the use of robotic technology. With this advanced technology, the Whipple surgery can be done easily by oncology doctors.
