The most frequent technique used to treat pancreatic cancer is a #Pancreaticoduodenectomy, also known as the #Whipple procedure. The method is named for Allen Old father #Whipple, who invented it and was formerly chairman of the department of surgery at #Columbia University. About 75% of #pancreatic #cancer tumours are found at the head of the pancreas, and it is used to treat those. The traditional Whipple and the pylorus-sparing Whipple are the two most popular forms of Whipple surgeries.
