Frequently Asked Questions
Both liver and pancreatic cancer are complex and so is treatment, which can look different for everyone. Your oncology nurse navigator, along with your care team, can answer any questions you have about your personalized treatment plan.
Based on your needs, you may require additional pathology testing to check for genetic mutations. Then, you may have regular chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, surgery or radiation.
Pancreatic cancer is a different type of cancer than liver cancer. However, pancreatic cancer most commonly spreads to the liver, so the same type of cancer doctor usually specializes in both liver and pancreatic cancer.
Your doctor may refer you for different imaging and testing of your body tissue so that we can make a cancer diagnosis. Scans and pathology tests also help us look for changes, or mutations, in your cancer, which can tell us how to treat your specific cancer type.
It can take one to two weeks to receive pathology results, but these results are important for getting you the targeted treatment that serves you best.
