Introduction
Pancreatic cancer is a serious disease with often subtle symptoms and limited treatment options. Dr. Vijay karan Reddy with his team provides comprehensive care and support for individuals facing pancreatic cancer, helping them navigate through diagnosis, treatment, and beyond.
Recognizing Pancreatic Cancer Symptoms
Pancreatic cancer symptoms can be vague and easily overlooked, which often leads to late-stage diagnosis. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, jaundice, weight loss, and digestive issues. Recognizing these signs early can significantly impact treatment outcomes.
Diagnostic Approaches
Accurate diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan. Our clinic utilizes advanced imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans, as well as endoscopic procedures like EUS and ERCP, to accurately assess the extent of the disease and plan appropriate treatment.
Treatment Options
Treatment for pancreatic cancer depends on factors such as the stage of the disease and the patient's overall health. Options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these treatments. Our team works closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment approach that maximizes effectiveness while minimizing side effects.
Surgical Interventions
For eligible patients, surgical removal of the tumor offers the best chance of long-term survival. Procedures such as the Whipple procedure or distal pancreatectomy may be performed to remove the affected part of the pancreas.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy drugs are used to kill cancer cells and prevent them from spreading. Our clinic stays up-to-date with the latest chemotherapy protocols to ensure patients receive the most effective treatment possible.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to target and destroy cancer cells. Advanced techniques such as IMRT and SBRT allow for precise targeting of the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
