Dr. Shashank Agrawal is widely considered the top Pancreatic Cancer Surgeon. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most common cancers with a poor prognosis since it grows and spreads long before symptoms occur. Pancreatic cancer has a relatively poor survival rate. However, the Whipple procedure, which is a complex surgery, has the potential to prolong the patient's life and cure pancreatic/periampullary cancer. Pancreatic Cancer patients' chances of survival vary depending on the location and stage of the tumor, though the Whipple therapy dramatically increases patient survival. In the Whipple procedure, a highly trained GI Surgeon removes the "head" (broad section) of the pancreas and the duodenum (a piece of the common bile duct, gallbladder, and sometimes part of the stomach). The surgeon then rejoins the remaining intestine, bile duct, and pancreas. Few patients may be candidates for the laparoscopic minimally invasive Whipple method, which is only performed by highly competent GI Surgeons and requires a series of small incisions rather than the larger single incision required for open surgery.
