Pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is considered the 8th most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. There are several types of tumors, but more than 90% of cases are pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This disease is characterized by an insidious, asymptomatic onset, rapid development, and early metastases. Currently, radical surgery is considered the only treatment option, but most patients receive a diagnosis too late to undergo surgery. The sensitivity of pancreatic cancer to chemical therapy or radiation is also low. Thus, there is no universal method of combating this disease.

Pancreatic cancer treatment abroad provides the best chance of recovery with the help of the latest technology. Clinics in Israel, Germany, Korea, China, Japan and Turkey are considered leaders in this field.

Advanced pancreatic cancer treatment methods abroad

Surgery

In most cases, surgery is the main method, but it has high risks and dangerous side effects.

Hospitals in Korea, Germany and China use robotic surgery under the guidance of the Da Vinci system. The robot allows surgeons to remove hard-to-reach tumors in the abdominal cavity with high precision, dexterity and under close supervision. Since the da Vinci system requires only a few small incisions, patients recover as quickly as possible, can switch to additional procedures if necessary and return to normal life faster.

Proton therapy

In Israel and Germany, when surgery to remove pancreatic cancer is impossible or insufficient, proton therapy may be prescribed. The advanced procedure delivers the highest radiation doses directly to the tumor, without affecting nearby healthy tissues. For many patients, this method provides better cancer control with fewer side effects. Prices for pancreatic cancer treatment abroad may vary depending on the country.

Ablative methods

Cryotherapy (exposure to a tumor with liquid nitrogen) is an effective method of treating pancreatic cancer. The method has the advantages of minimal invasion and is potentially safe for patients.

Other ablation methods can be used to treat exocrine pancreatic cancer when multiple tumors have appeared. These include microwave thermotherapy, which heats and destroys cancer with microwaves, and radiofrequency ablation, which destroys the neoplasm with radio waves.

Targeted therapy

Clinics in Germany, Japan, Israel and Korea offer targeted therapy for the treatment of certain types of pancreatic cancer. This new method prevents certain receptors or blood vessels from supplying the tumor with nutrients, stopping the growth of cancer cells. The prices for targeted therapy depend on the individual conditions of the patient's disease.

After visiting Liv Hospital, we only have good impressions. Dr. Selemi Suzubish deserves all praise. He was polite, correct, and patient. We were also satisfied with the work of the coordinator and translators. The examination procedure on a "cool" tomograph turned out to be very difficult and heavy for the child. We could not complete it in one session. The second part was conducted the next day. The results were announced to us the following day. The coordinator promised to send the research protocol to our email.

Patients with serious illnesses often need support, and I am pleased that I received it from people completely unknown to me.
