Pancreatic Cancer Treatment in Maui 

Pancreatic cancer can feel overwhelming, and traditional treatments often add to the physical and emotional burden. Here at Pacific Cancer Institute, we believe there’s a better way.

We offer a new approach to pancreatic cancer care with TrueBeam® technology, a globally trusted and FDA-approved system that delivers precise radiation with minimal side effects, making the treatment experience less taxing and allowing you to focus on healing.

What is Pancreatic Cancer? 

Pancreatic cancer is a serious illness that originates in the tissues of the pancreas, an essential organ that aids in digestion and regulates blood sugar. This type of cancer often progresses silently, making early detection challenging.

Symptoms can include jaundice, unexplained weight loss, persistent abdominal pain, and changes in stool. Understanding these signs is crucial for prompt medical consultation and care. 

Common Risk Factors for Pancreatic Cancer 

Understanding the common risk factors for pancreatic cancer can help in early detection and prevention. Here are some of the key factors that may increase the likelihood of developing this disease: 

• Age: Most pancreatic cancer patients are over the age of 60. 

• Smoking: Tobacco use significantly raises the risk of pancreatic cancer. 

• Family History: A family history of pancreatic cancer or certain genetic mutations can increase risk. 

• Chronic Pancreatitis: Long-term inflammation of the pancreas has been linked to higher cancer risk. 

• Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes, particularly type 2, may have a higher risk. 

How TrueBeam is Redefining Pancreatic Cancer Treatment 

A major concern for pancreatic cancer patients is the need for invasive procedures, which can be both painful and risky.

TrueBeam technology alleviates this challenge by offering a non-invasive alternative that still delivers effective treatment. This innovation helps patients avoid the physical trauma of surgery, leading to a smoother and less painful recovery. 

Why TrueBeam Stands Out in Treating Pancreatic Cancer 

• Less Damage to Surrounding Organs: Pancreatic cancer treatments often risk harming nearby organs like the liver and kidneys. TrueBeam’s precision reduces this risk, protecting your vital organs and maintaining their function throughout treatment. 
• Less Fatigue: Traditional treatments often leave patients feeling extremely fatigued. TrueBeam’s precise targeting and shorter session times reduce the overall treatment burden, helping you maintain your energy levels and stay more active during the course of therapy. 
• Minimized Risk of Diabetes: The pancreas plays a crucial role in insulin production. Traditional radiation can damage pancreatic cells, increasing the risk of diabetes. TrueBeam’s precision helps protect these vital cells, reducing the likelihood of developing treatment-induced diabetes. 
• Maintain Weight and Nutrient Absorption: Traditional treatments can cause digestive issues and appetite loss, leading to weight loss. TrueBeam’s precision minimizes damage to your digestive organs, allowing you to maintain a stable weight and absorb nutrients more effectively.
