Chemotherapy is provided for pancreatic cancer patients at Duke Cancer Institute to help destroy cancer cells as well as reduce pain and manage other problems caused by pancreatic cancer.
Systemic chemotherapy uses drugs that are given via a vein or by mouth, treating the whole body.
Chemotherapy may be given before surgery to make tumors easier to remove, or after surgery to prevent them from coming back. It may also be combined with radiation.
The types of chemotherapy drugs you receive will vary depending on your individual treatment needs.
