Pancreatic cancer can be difficult to detect early. That’s why speed and accuracy are so important. We use the latest diagnostic tests, such as CT scans and endoscopic ultrasounds, to quickly diagnose cancer and determine its stage. In fact, patients at the Cancer Institute typically begin treatment within days after diagnosis. Find out more about pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
We use the latest techniques and technology to treat pancreatic cancer effectively and efficiently. We offer best-in-class treatments like NanoKnife®* as well as the Whipple procedure, a precise surgery to remove pancreatic tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is an innovative technique that destroys cancer cells through precise targeting.
We also maintain a thriving clinical trials program. If you are eligible, you can be a part of ground-breaking research that could result in a new treatment option. Get more information about pancreatic cancer treatment.
