Is Chemotherapy The Best Treatment For Pancreatic Cancer?
My sister has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Next week she will start chemotherapy treatment for three weeks, one day out of the week for 3 hours. One week break and than another three weeks, after that she will have another cat scan done to see if the cancer has shrink enough for surgery. I am really worried about her, will she be alright?
Treatment options for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer depend heavily on a patient's overall health and preferences. First-line options include chemotherapy with a combination of fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin, called folfirinox. Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel.
