Interdisciplinary tumour conference

Adequate chemotherapy after the surgical removal of the pancreatic carcinoma can significantly reduce the risk of the tumour recurring. Also, the role of the medical oncologist is decisive in cases when a tumour is no longer primarily operable or when tumour growth recurs after surgery.
