Can pancreatic cancer be treated surgically AND with radiation?
A friend of mine has pancreatic cancer, and he’s getting a tumor removal surgery in a few days. If that doesn’t work though, can they do chemotherapy or targeted radiation therapy?
Chemotherapy combined with radiation may be an option if surgery is not successful. Unfortunately pancreatic cancer is a tough disease to treat.
