Pancreatic Cancer
Specialist care and research-informed treatment for pancreatic cancer.
Overview
Pancreatic cancer requires expert, coordinated care. Dr. Sirohi has published extensively on pancreatic cancer treatment and neoadjuvant therapy, and serves on ICMR pancreatic cancer guidelines.
What it is
Pancreatic cancer arises in the pancreas and often presents late, making specialist multidisciplinary care important.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis involves imaging (CT, MRI, endoscopic ultrasound), tumour markers (e.g. CA 19-9) and biopsy.
Treatment Approaches
Treatment may combine surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, including neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) approaches in selected borderline-resectable cases.
When to Seek Specialist Advice
Seek advice for persistent upper abdominal or back pain, jaundice, unexplained weight loss, or new-onset diabetes with weight loss.
