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.
