Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Treatment of pancreatic cancer depends on type and stage as well as spread of cancer. In early stage surgery is useful. In late stage chemotherapy and radiotherapy remain mainstay in the treatment.
Radiotherapy is useful in some types of pancreatic cancer. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
