Pancreatic Cancer Treatment
Send InquiryAbout Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is when abnormal cells grow in the pancreas, a small organ situated behind your stomach in your abdomen.
The pancreas produces digestive juices that help your body break down food and hormones, such as insulin, that regulate blood sugar levels.
Pancreatic tumors are categorized into two types: exocrine and endocrine, based on the cells involved. Exocrine cells produce digestive juices, while endocrine cells produce insulin. Exocrine tumors are more common in people with pancreatic cancer and tend to grow faster than endocrine tumors.

Early detection of pancreatic cancer increases the likelihood of successful treatment. However, pancreatic cancer is usually diagnosed after it has already spread. Nonetheless, treatment can improve your quality of life and extend your lifespan.
What causes it?
The cause of pancreatic cancer is unknown to experts, but changes in the body's DNA are linked to many cancers.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of pancreatic cancer usually don't manifest until the cancer has spread. Symptoms may include upper belly or back pain, unexpected weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, or jaundice.
We Treat All Stages of Pancreatic Cancers:
Experienced in Treating Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Patients
Metastatic pancreatic cancer, which has spread to other parts of the body, is especially challenging to treat and one of the most lethal forms of cancer. Standard treatments can be harsh and often have limited effectiveness. However, at ICCA Global, we have extensive experience treating metastatic pancreatic cancer using our comprehensive approach.
Our physicians have treated lethal Stage III/IV Metastatic Pancreatic Cancers (pancreatic cancer spread to the liver) for over 40 years. We have helped many patients who had previously been told they were out of options, providing hope and improving their quality of life.
Our approach combines:
- A PET/CT scan upon arrival to allow real-time imaging for our physicians to examine changes at a molecular level providing comprehensive diagnostics to each patient's condition.
- Short-course radiation with concurrent systemic chemotherapy to effectively destroy microscopic cancer cells.
- In certain follow-up situations, additional chemotherapy may be recommended to ensure complete eradication of cancer cells.
- Targeted agents that specifically attack growth factors or receptors within tumor cells. These agents, when used alongside chemotherapy, can effectively inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Furthermore, our approved angiogenesis inhibitors are capable of preventing the formation of new blood vessels, providing an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer that has spread to other areas of the body.
