Is Whipple’s Surgery Curative?

  • Considered a curative-intent surgery in selected patients

Best outcomes when:

  • Diagnosed at an early stage
  • Complete tumor removal (R0 resection)
  • Followed by adjuvant chemotherapy

Whipple’s surgery is one step within a comprehensive, planned cancer treatment approach rather than a standalone procedure.

Pre-Surgery Evaluation (Eligibility & Tests)

  • Contrast CT scan / PET-CT
  • CA 19-9 tumor marker
  • Endoscopic biopsy (EUS-guided)
  • Cardiac & pulmonary fitness tests

Every case is reviewed by a multidisciplinary tumor board involving surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists before final decision-making.
