Ultrasound, CT, or MRI pictures will show the location and size of the cancer. Pictures may also show if cancer has spread to other places in your body. You may be given contrast liquid to help the cancer show up better in pictures. Tell the healthcare provider if you have ever had an...
pancreatic cancer is often asymptomatic until later stages, and diagnosis can be difficult. However, through healthy lifestyle choices and natural support strategies, you can protect your body and improve your health
How is pancreatic cancer diagnosed?Your healthcare provider will examine you and ask about your symptoms. He or she may ask if you have a family history of pancreatic cancer. You may need any of the following:Ultrasound, CT, or MRI pictures will show the location and size of the cancer....
Double-duct sign: dilation of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct due to tumors of the pancreatic head blocking bile drainage. Routine laboratory studies [11][16][19] Findings are variable and nonspecific but may show abnormalities caused by pancreatic cancer or related complications. Obtain...
Bilirubin is one part of a substance called bile. Your liver makes bile to help you digest your food, especially fats. As pancreatic cancer grows, it often blocks the duct that releases bile into your intestine. Since the bile can't pass through this blocked duct, bile can't get to your...
bile also allows measurement of other cancer-derived factors such as the K-rasoncogene. As reported in one series [29], the false-negative rate for ERCP is only 3%. Although the radiographic diagnosis of pancreatic cancer can generally be made using a combination of CT, ultrasonography, and ...

Targeted therapy uses the concept of killing the tumor by the use of drugs that attack specific abnormalities present within the cancer cells. These drugs arrest the growth of cancer cells by blocking the mutation that converts normal cells into a cancerous one. Some of the drugs also work by...
Finally, immunotherapy utilizes the patient’s own immune system to combat the cancer; for example, by increasing anti-tumor messenger molecules or blocking a receptor that increases the growth of cells.11 In this protocol you will learn about pancreatic cancer, its potential causes and known ...
