Partial Pancreatic Resection is the primary surgical method for treating pancreatic cancer. The procedure is performed when the tumor is located in one of the parts of the pancreas — the head, body, or tail. The Whipple procedure, also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, is most commonly performed when the tumor is located in the head of the pancreas. This is a complex surgical intervention.
If the tumor is located in the tail of the pancreas, the preferred method is distal pancreatectomy. This surgery helps preserve the functionality of the pancreas head, reducing risks to the digestive system.
Pancreatic cancer treatment in Israel, at the Oncology Department of Ichilov Clinic, is renowned for its effectiveness, thanks to the use of advanced technologies and the high qualifications of the medical staff.
