In this interview with Farrer Park Hospital, Dr Lee Chin Li breaks down how pancreatic cancer is treated — covering the key modalities used in clinical care.

He explains that treatment typically depends on how advanced the cancer is, emphasising that surgery is the mainstay when the cancer is operable because it provides the best chance for longer-term control. For cancers that can’t be removed surgically, he discusses how chemotherapy and multidisciplinary approaches are used to help control disease and improve outcomes.

Throughout, Dr Lee stresses the importance of a tailored, patient-centred strategy involving imaging, specialist assessment and coordinated care by a cancer team.
