Pioneering operation on pancreatic cancer
A team of surgeons from Vall d’Hebron Hospital has operated on patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma - one of the cancers with the worst prognosis and which until now could not be treated surgically - using a pioneering technique that consists in pressing the tumour with a needle and burning it until the cells are destroyed. The three patients who have received the new treatment will now be monitored to study whether it offers a longer life expectancy than other methods.
