Surgery for Pancreatic Cancer

CTCA offers a range of pancreatic cancer surgical procedures. The nature and extent of surgery for resectable pancreatic tumors depends on the location and size of the tumor.

Our highly-skilled surgeons and surgical oncologists have significant experience in performing difficult and complex surgical procedures for pancreatic cancer. Some surgical procedures CTCA offers to pancreatic cancer patients include:

In addition to providing surgical procedures for patients with resectable tumors, our surgical oncology teams may also perform a variety of palliative procedures, such as: 
  • Biliary drainage
  • Endoscopic stent placement
  • Bilary bypass
  • Gastric bypass

Your care team may also recommend other treatments in addition to surgery. For instance, in order to make a previously inoperable pancreas resectable, your care team may provide chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy prior to surgery for pancreatic cancer.
