Treatment of the pancreatic cancer
This disease can be treated with a surgical operation if it is not spread to other organs. Surgery continues to be an important part of the treatment. Unfortunately, most of the pancreatic cancers are already spread to other organs when diagnosed. This case concerns 80% of patients. The cancer have already involved the important and vital veins around and been spread to other organs. If the size of the tumor is reduced by medication or ray treatment, the patient is assessed again for surgery.
Radiotherapy
Strong radiation waves can kill cancer cells. Radiotherapy is performed for several days, weeks or months. It is used to reduce the size of cancer before surgery and to kill the remaining cancer cells after surgery.
Medical treatment (Chemotherapy)
Chemotherapy is used to kill cancer cells, to prevent spreading to the surrounding tissues and distant organs or kill them there if there is any. In general, it is applied in a way that multiple chemotherapy drugs are administered together. Different treatments are applied depending on the age and general health status of the patient and the stage of cancer.
Targeted treatment
As in many cancers, treatments specific to the patient and the type of cancer can be performed. Here, the cancer sample is obtained under special laboratory conditions and it is decided which treatment is appropriate. Today, it is also used in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

In the system known as the Biological Treatment, the patient's own immune cells are used to fight against cancer. Works on vaccination treatment of the pancreatic cancer are continuing rapidly. These studies are expected to be applied in the clinical practice as soon as possible.
