Understanding Pancreatic Cancer:
Pancreatic cancer develops when cells in the pancreas grow uncontrollably, forming a malignant tumor. It can occur in the head, body, or tail of the pancreas, each affecting prognosis and treatment strategies. The disease is often silent in its early stages but can progress rapidly, making expert intervention critical.
Risk factors for pancreatic cancer include age, smoking, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, family history, and certain genetic predispositions. Laparoscopic Surgeon in New Delhi – Dr. Jayadatt Pawar emphasizes early screening for high-risk patients and careful monitoring to improve early detection and treatment outcomes.
Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer:
Symptoms may vary depending on the tumor location and stage. Common signs include:
- Upper abdominal pain or discomfort that may radiate to the back
- Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Dark urine and pale stools
- Nausea, vomiting, and digestive difficulties
- New-onset diabetes or worsening control in existing diabetic patients
Dr. Jayadatt Pawar advises that anyone experiencing persistent or unexplained abdominal pain or jaundice should seek prompt evaluation, as early detection is critical for successful treatment.
Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer (Focus on Surgical Approach):
- Whipple Procedure (Pancreaticoduodenectomy): The Whipple procedure is the most common surgery for tumors located in the head of the pancreas. It involves removing the tumor along with parts of the pancreas, bile duct, and sometimes stomach, followed by reconstruction of the digestive tract. Dr. Jayadatt Pawar performs this surgery with precision, often using minimally invasive or robotic techniques for faster recovery.
- Distal Pancreatectomy: For tumors in the body or tail of the pancreas, distal pancreatectomy is performed. This procedure removes the affected portion of the pancreas and sometimes the spleen. Dr. Jayadatt Pawar ensures careful preservation of surrounding organs and tissues while achieving complete tumor removal.
- Total Pancreatectomy: In rare cases where the tumor involves the entire pancreas, a total pancreatectomy may be required. Post-surgery, patients receive comprehensive metabolic support to manage diabetes and digestive enzyme deficiencies.
- Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery: Robotic and laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries offer several benefits, including smaller incisions, reduced pain, less blood loss, and quicker recovery. Dr. Jayadatt Pawar, trained in advanced robotic systems like daVinci, CMR Versius, and HUGO RAS, provides world-class care for patients seeking minimally invasive options in New Delhi and Faridabad.
- Adjunctive Therapies: Surgery is often combined with chemotherapy and, in selected cases, radiation therapy to reduce recurrence risk and improve long-term survival. Dr. Jayadatt Pawar coordinates a multidisciplinary treatment plan to ensure comprehensive care for every patient.
