Understanding Pancreatic Cancer:

• Overview: Pancreatic cancer-like condition arises when abnormal cells in the pancreas grow out of control, forming tumors. It is usually referred to as a silent killer because symptoms might not manifest until the disease has reached an advanced stage, making early detection challenging.
• Risk Factors: Several risk factors are known to be well associated with an enhanced risk of developing pancreatic cancer. It includes smoking, obesity, a family history of pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, and certain genetic syndromes.

Lifecode’s Approach to Pancreatic Cancer:

• Early Detection and Diagnosis: It emphasizes the importance of early detection and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer through comprehensive screening programs.

• Multidisciplinary Treatment: The team of oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, and other specialists collaborate closely to develop individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs and circumstances. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these modalities.
• Precision Medicine: The Healthcare utilizes precision medicine approaches. It includes molecular profiling and genetic testing, to identify specific genetic alterations or biomarkers that may inform treatment decisions and predict response to therapy. This personalized approach allows for more targeted and effective treatments with fewer side effects.
