What Is Pancreatic Cancer?
Pancreatic cancer begins when abnormal cells in the pancreas multiply uncontrollably. The pancreas is a vital organ responsible for producing digestive enzymes and regulating blood sugar through hormone secretion. Because pancreatic cancer often causes few early symptoms, it may be detected late, making specialized treatment and multidisciplinary care essential.
Common types of pancreatic cancer include:
- Adenocarcinoma: The most common form, originating in the ductal cells
- Neuroendocrine tumors: Less common, arising from hormone-producing cells
Early identification and expert management by a specialist like Dr. Sachin Trivedi can improve survival and quality of life.
When Is Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Needed?
Dr. Sachin Trivedi may recommend evaluation when a patient presents with symptoms such as:
- Persistent upper abdominal or back pain
- Unexplained weight loss
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
- Loss of appetite or digestive difficulties
- New-onset diabetes
- Pale stools or dark urine
Diagnostic confirmation typically involves imaging studies (CT, MRI, PET-CT), blood tests, and biopsy to determine the cancer type and stage. Once diagnosed, Dr. Trivedi creates a personalized plan for treatment.
Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Options Provided by Dr. Sachin Trivedi
01
Surgical Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer
When the tumor is localized and operable, surgery offers the best chance for cure. Dr. Trivedi specializes in precise and meticulous surgical procedures, including:
- Whipple Procedure (Pancreaticoduodenectomy):
Removal of the head of the pancreas, part of the small intestine, gallbladder, and bile duct - Distal Pancreatectomy:
Removal of the body and tail of the pancreas (sometimes with the spleen) - Total Pancreatectomy:
Complete removal of the pancreas for selected cases
Surgery is planned carefully to maximize cancer removal while preserving as much normal function as possible.
02
Advanced Minimally Invasive Techniques
Where clinically appropriate, Dr. Trivedi uses laparoscopic or minimally invasive approaches to reduce surgical trauma, lower complication rates, and promote faster recovery.
03
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of pancreatic cancer treatment and may be used:
- Before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) to shrink tumors
- After surgery (adjuvant therapy) to eliminate microscopic disease
- As a main treatment for locally advanced or metastatic cancer
Dr. Trivedi selects chemotherapy regimens tailored to tumor biology and patient health.
04
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells. It may be recommended:
- In combination with chemotherapy
- After surgery to minimize local recurrence
- For symptom control in advanced disease
05
Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy
For selected patients, advanced systemic treatments such as targeted therapy or immunotherapy may be offered based on tumor genetics and treatment response. These options aim to improve outcomes with fewer side effects.
