Are there any treatments for pancreatic cancer?

Plenty of Rx: But only total removal works. Panc resides in a critical area, if ca invades important vessels removal unlikely. Potential to remove improved with chemo and radiorx. If vessels not freed, stomach and liver secretions need to be bypassed to attain relief.

Details: The latest, best chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease is folfirinox, a combination regimen, which outperformed gemcitabine alone. Another option is gemcitabine with Paclitaxel or erlotinib. Surgery is the only curative modality, so if its resectable, this should be pursued. Neoadjuvant (pre-op) treatment with chemo and radiation is a great option to ensure patient is likely to benefit.
