Liver, Gallbladder or Pancreatic Cancer at Central & Northeastern PA Soldiers & Sailors
Gallbladder, liver, and pancreatic cancers are all difficult to detect. While gallbladder cancer can be stopped by removing the gallbladder if caught early enough, pancreatic cancer and liver cancer often have poor prognoses. Symptoms for these types of cancer include abdominal pain, loss of appetite and weight, and yellowing of the skin and whites of your eyes. Tests used to determine the diagnoses include CT scans, biopsies, ultrasounds, MRI, and blood tests. The most aggressive treatment of all three cancers involves chemotherapy and radiation. While the gallbladder can be removed and the liver can have a transplant, only part of the pancreas can be removed.
