Advanced surgical options:
Eligible patients have access to sophisticated techniques, such as the Whipple procedure. This surgery disconnects the head of the pancreas from nearby organs to remove the cancer. Many patients have surgery using minimally invasive techniques that require smaller incisions. Explore cancer surgery.
-
Careful diagnosis:
You benefit from research-based methods and advanced technology for detailed pancreas imaging. These efforts help us pinpoint the location of the cancer and its severity based on the size and whether it’s spread. We’re also able to evaluate pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors with a high degree of accuracy. Read more about cancer diagnosis.
