What is Pancreatic Cancer?

Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of the pancreas, an essential organ lying horizontally behind the lower part of the stomach. This type of cancer is often detected late, spreads rapidly, and has historically been challenging to treat. 

Genetics, including mutations in genes like BRCA, contribute to pancreatic cancer risk, but lifestyle choices have a greater impact. Smoking doubles the risk, while exposure to workplace chemicals adds to the danger.

Medical conditions like chronic pancreatitis and long-term diabetes are also linked to pancreatic cancer due to chronic inflammation or hormonal imbalances. High consumption of red and processed meats, along with obesity, especially belly fat, increases the risk.

Aging, particularly after 60, and ethnicity, with Black Americans at higher risk, are additional factors.

Watch for early signs like jaundice, abdominal/back pain, weight loss, appetite loss, and new-onset diabetes, and consult your doctor if you experience any symptoms.

The CyberKnife for Pancreatic Cancer

Thanks to medical advancements like the CyberKnife system, more effective treatment options now exist for pancreatic cancer, even in advanced cases.

The CyberKnife provides a non-surgical solution, delivering high-dose radiation directly to the tumor site with unmatched precision using advanced robotics and real-time imaging.

This approach minimizes damage to healthy tissues and reduces potential side effects compared to traditional methods.

Benefits of the CyberKnife

• Effective Treatment Option: The CyberKnife system offers effective treatment for pancreatic cancer, even in advanced cases, extending life and reducing symptoms.
• High Precision and Real-Time Motion Sync: The CyberKnife’s real-time motion synchronization technology adjusts to pancreas movement during breathing, ensuring accurate radiation delivery to the target tumor, enhancing treatment effectiveness and reducing risk.
• Non-Surgical Approach: The CyberKnife system offers an incision-free treatment option, delivering high-dose radiation directly to the tumor site, without the need for surgery, anesthesia, or hospital stays.
• Shorter Treatment Time: Treatments are typically completed in one to five sessions, compared to weeks with traditional radiation therapy, reducing disruption to daily life and enabling quicker return to normal activities.
