• Loss of appetite
• Sudden, unexpected weight loss
• Abnormal stool
• Vomiting or nausea
• Upper abdominal pain
• Jaundice

Medical history, comorbidities, previous treatments, stage and metastasis are all considered when determining the best combination of surgery, chemotherapy and other treatments for advanced pancreatic cancer.

Direct Chemotherapy Infusion for Pancreatic Cancer

Chemotherapy can play a vital role in treatment of pancreatic cancer. Dr. Alden and his colleagues can determine the best options for using chemotherapy, radiation and other effective pancreatic cancer treatments. Some patients may receive neoadjuvant chemo, which is used before surgery to reduce the size of tumors. Others may undergo direct chemotherapy infusion after surgery or for advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be completely removed with surgical procedures.
