Pancreatic & Hepatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a particularly aggressive form of cancer that develops in the pancreas, an organ that produces digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin, and is often difficult to detect in its early stages.

Hepatic cancer (liver cancer) is a type of cancer that begins in the liver cells, which can either start in the liver itself (primary) or spread from other parts of the body (secondary), and may be linked to conditions like hepatitis or cirrhosis.

Pancreatic endocrine tumours (also called pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours or PNETs) are rare tumours that develop from the hormone-producing cells of the pancreas, which may produce excess hormones causing specific symptoms or remain non-functional, and often require surgical removal depending on their size, location, and behaviour.

Laparoscopic splenectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the spleen through small keyhole incisions, commonly performed to treat conditions such as enlarged spleen, blood disorders, or splenic injuries while offering faster recovery compared to open surgery.
