Title:

Pancreatic Cancer Treatment in India

Description:

Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which normal cells in the pancreas malfunction and begin to grow uncontrollably. These cancerous cells can eventually interfere with proper functioning of the pancreas and metastasize (spread) to other parts of the body. The pancreas is a pear-shaped gland located in the abdomen between the stomach and the spine. It is about 6 inches in length and is composed of two major components: exocrine and endocrine. The exocrine component, made up of ducts and acini (small sacs on the end of the ducts), produce enzymes, which are specialized proteins released into the small intestine that help the body digest and break down food, particularly fats. It is the cells lining these pancreatic ducts that most frequently turn cancerous. These are called ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas and represent the most common subtype of pancreatic cancer. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Pancreatic Cancer Treatment In India
Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which normal
cells in the pancreas malfunction and begin to
grow uncontrollably. These cancerous cells can
eventually interfere with proper functioning of
the pancreas and metastasize (spread) to other
parts of the body. The pancreas is a pear-shaped
gland located in the abdomen between the stomach
and the spine. It is about 6 inches in length and
is composed of two major components exocrine and
endocrine. The exocrine component, made up of
ducts and acini (small sacs on the end of the
ducts), produce enzymes, which are specialized
proteins released into the small intestine that
help the body digest and break down food,
particularly fats. It is the cells lining these
pancreatic ducts that most frequently turn
cancerous. These are called ductal
adenocarcinomas of the pancreas and represent the
most common subtype of pancreatic cancer.

Types Of Pancreatic Cancer
Endocrine Tumors  Endocrine tumors also referred
to as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) or
islet cell tumors are not so common as compared
to exocrine tumors. PPomas Insulinoma
VIPomas Gastrinoma Glucagonoma
Somatostatinoma Exocrine Tumors They are
considered as the most common type of pancreatic
cancer. Adenocarcinoma that begins in gland cells
is mostly seen in around 95 people who are
suffering from pancreatic cancer. Lymphoma
Acinar Cell Carcinomas Cystic Tumors
Neuroendocrine tumors

Pancreatic Cancer Is Diagnosed
Computed tomography (CT scan) A scanner takes
multiple X-ray pictures, and a computer
reconstructs them into detailed images of the
inside of the abdomen. Magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI)Using magnetic waves, a scanner
creates detailed images of the abdomen, in
particular the area around the pancreas, liver,
and gallbladder. Ultrasound  Harmless sound
waves reflected off organs in the belly create
images, potentially helping doctors make a
pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Positron emission
tomography (PET scan) Radioactive glucose
injected into the veins is absorbed by cancer
cells. PET scans may help determine the degree of
pancreatic cancer spread.

Pancreatic Cancer Treatment And Surgery
In India
Laparoscopy, Sometimes, the surgeon may choose to
start with a laparoscopy. During a laparoscopy,
several small holes are made in the abdomen and a
tiny camera is passed into the body while a
patient receives anesthesia, which is medication
to help block the awareness of pain.
Surgery to remove the tumor. Different types of
surgery are used depending on where the tumor is
located in the pancreas. In all of the surgeries
discussed below, nearby lymph nodes are removed
as part of the operation.
Targeted Therapy-Chemotherapy is a cancer
treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of
cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by
stopping the cells from dividing. When
chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a
vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream
and can reach cancer cells throughout the body
(systemic chemotherapy). Radiation
Therapy-Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment
that uses high-energy radiation beams to kill
cancer cells. There are two types of radiation
therapy. External radiation therapy uses a
machine outside the body to send radiation toward
the cancer.
