Dr Stephen Grund, haematology expert, on pancreatic cancer
Average rating:
'At the time of diagnosis, only about 20 per cent of pancreatic tumours can be removed by surgery. When the tumour is confined to the pancreas but cannot be removed, a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be recommended. When the tumour has spread to other organs such as the liver, chemotherapy alone is usually used.'
