New pancreatic cancer pathway improving survival ratespublished at 15:34 British Summer Time 9 October 2017
Amy Woodfield
BBC Local LiveThirteen patients have so far benefited from a new system of treating Pancreatic Cancer patents in Leicester.
Some of those diagnosed now wait just two weeks to be operated on instead of the usual six.
This system follows research carried out in Sweden that suggests pancreatic cancer patients’ five-year survival rates improve dramatically if surgery is carried out within two weeks of diagnosis.
Research claims survival rates jump from 5% to 30-40%., external
Image source, Science Photo LibraryQuote MessageIn order to date these patients within two weeks of their diagnosis, we often have to utilise weekend operating lists as it would be unfair to cancel other patients’ planned cancer surgery. There are certainly some patients who are not suitable for this new pathway but by operating on patients as soon as possible from their diagnosis, we are helping to avoid additional unnecessary procedures and other problems such as weight loss."
