Early detection is critical for successful treatment of pancreatic and hepatobiliary cancers. While recognizing the early signs (like fatigue or unexplained weight loss, which can be liver cancer symptoms) is crucial, the exact causes of these cancers remain under investigation, as are the causes of stomach cancer and the causes of pancreatic cancer.

This is where a multidisciplinary approach becomes vital. Because these cancers are complex, patients benefit from a team of specialists with experience in various disciplines reviewing their diagnosis together. This allows for a comprehensive discussion of the best treatment options.

At ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute’s Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Cancer Center, this multidisciplinary approach is our specialty.
