  3. Metastatic Cancer of Pancreas

Dear Sir / Madam,

Greetings from HBG Medical Assistance –We have proudly assisted close to 14,000 patients from over 32 Countries at 300+ Hospital Units in India!!!

Thank you for sharing medical reports of Pt. XYZ with us. We have discussed the patient’s medical condition with our eminent Oncologists at the leading hospitals on our panel in India. Kindly allow me to provide you with their opinion.

Diagnosis: According to the medical reports shared with us ,the patient is suffering from Metastatic Carcinoma of Pancreas. We will need to confirm the diagnosis with some more investigations.

Metastatic pancreatic carcinoma, also known as stage IV pancreatic cancer, occurs when cancer cells spread from the pancreas to other parts of the body. It is characterized by the presence of tumours in distant organs or tissues, even though the cancer originated in the pancreas.

Investigations needed to confirm the diagnosis and plan the treatment – The patient will need to undergo detailed physical and clinical investigations which includes– PET CT, Biopsy, Cancer markers, Blood Investigations, and other routine investigations to confirm the above diagnosis and treatment plan.

Possible Line of Treatment / Plan: Final treatment plan will be decided after completing clinical/ Physical evaluation. However, patients may require 5-6 cycles of chemotherapy +/- Targeted Therapy.

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells. It can be used to cure cancer, lessen the chance of recurrence, or relieve symptoms by shrinking tumours. Chemotherapy drugs work by targeting fast-growing cells.

Targeted Therapy uses drugs that target specific cancer cells and do not allow them to reproduce or multiply.
