Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer

Like many abdominal cancers and tumors, pancreatic cancer often does not have any symptoms in the early stages. A patient may have advanced pancreatic cancer before they begin exhibiting symptoms. However, there are signs of possible disease of the pancreas. Symptoms can include:

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

Dr. Alden has spent decades performing intricate abdominal surgeries and treatments for his patients with liver, gallbladder, colorectal and pancreatic cancer. He has performed some of the most complex procedures available for fighting liver and pancreatic cancers, including the fully robotic Whipple procedure, porto mesenteric stenting, ex vivo surgery and other advanced treatments. Dr. Alden is renowned throughout the world for his expertise in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer.

Every patient with pancreatic cancer Dr. Alden works with receives a personalized treatment plan based on their unique needs. 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.

If you have symptoms of pancreatic cancer or you have received a diagnosis of this invasive disease, contact Dr. Dmitri Alden at his office in UES Manhattan. Dr. Alden is one of the top pancreatic specialists in the country, offering innovative treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer.
