No cure for cancer in canines exist. [2] Some dog owners opt for no treatment of the cancer at all, in which case palliative care, including pain relief, may be offered. Regardless of how treatment proceeds following a diagnosis, the quality of life of the pet is an important consideration.
Foreign bodies can also be removed by endoscopy, which although requires general anesthesia does not require surgery and significantly decreases recovery time. [19] However, endoscopic foreign body retrieval is anatomically limited to objects lodged in the esophagus, the stomach or the colon. The condition in cattle is known as hardware disease.
However, the majority of patients with pancreatic cancer present with metastatic or locally advanced un-resectable disease; [7] thus only 15–20% of patients are candidates for the Whipple procedure. Surgery may follow neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which aims to shrink the tumor and increase the likelihood of complete resection. [8]
Although intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are benign tumors, they can progress to pancreatic cancer. [1] As such IPMN is viewed as a precancerous condition.
