What is Pancreatic Cancer? 

The pancreas is an organ located behind the stomach with two primary functions: producing digestive enzymes and releasing hormones like insulin to regulate blood sugar levels.

Pancreatic cancer occurs when cells in the pancreas grow uncontrollably, forming a malignant tumor. This type of cancer often goes undetected in its early stages due to subtle symptoms.

Understanding pancreatic cancer involves recognizing how it disrupts digestion and blood sugar regulation, impacting the body’s ability to process food and maintain stable glucose levels.

Common Risk Factors

• Age: Most cases occur in people over 60. 
• Smoking: Tobacco use significantly increases the risk. 
• Family History: A history of pancreatic cancer in the family can elevate risk levels. 
• Chronic Pancreatitis: Long-term inflammation of the pancreas is a contributing factor. 
• Obesity: Excess body weight has been linked to a higher incidence of pancreatic cancer. 

The CyberKnife for Pancreatic Cancer

One of the biggest challenges facing patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is the difficulty of treatment due to the pancreas’ deep location within the abdomen and its proximity to vital organs and blood vessels. Traditional treatments often struggle to effectively target tumors without harming surrounding healthy tissue. This challenge frequently results in limited options for patients and a need for more precise, non-invasive alternatives. 

The CyberKnife system is a breakthrough solution for pancreatic cancer care, addressing these challenges with unparalleled precision and effectiveness. This advanced, non-surgical treatment uses state-of-the-art robotic technology to deliver highly focused radiation beams directly to the tumor, minimizing damage to nearby organs and tissues.
