We focus on four primary cancers
Our practice focuses on four primary cancers: Pancreatic, Colon, Bile Duct, and Ovarian.
Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of your pancreas — an organ in your abdomen that lies behind the lower part of your stomach. Your pancreas releases enzymes that aid digestion and produces hormones that help manage your blood sugar.
Pancreatic cancer treatment options are chosen based on the extent of the cancer. Options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a combination of these.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is a group of diseases that originates in the ovaries, or in the related areas of the fallopian tubes and the peritoneum. Women have two ovaries that are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries make female hormones and produce eggs for reproduction. Women have two fallopian tubes that are a pair of long, slender tubes on each side of the uterus. Eggs pass from the ovaries through the fallopian tubes to the uterus. The peritoneum is the tissue lining that covers organs in the abdomen.(CDC)
Colon Cancer
Colorectal cancer starts in the colon or the rectum. These cancers can also be called colon cancer or rectal cancer, depending on where they start. Colon cancer and rectal cancer are often grouped together because they have many features in common.
Cancer starts when cells in the body start to grow out of control.
Bile Duct Cancer
Cholangiocarcinoma, also known as bile duct cancer, is a rare and aggressive type of cancer that forms in bile ducts. Bile ducts are thin tubes that carry a digestive fluid called bile from your liver to other digestive organs.
In cholangiocarcinoma, a gene in the cells lining the bile duct changes abnormally, causing the cells to grow and divide without stopping. These cancer cells form tumors. Over time, some cells can break off and spread to other parts of the body. This is called metastasis.
