Professor Boris Pfaffenbach, a leading specialist with 26 years of experience, oversees a team performing 9,000+ procedures annually.

Diagnostic Options
Accurate diagnosis is the first step. Prof. Pfaffenbach uses advanced endoscopic techniques. Available diagnostics include:
- Biochemical blood analysis and tumor marker tests
- Consultation with a radiologist
- Abdominal ultrasound and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
- Fine-needle aspiration biopsy for tissue sampling
- Histological examination of the biopsy
Available Treatments
The clinic offers the full spectrum of pancreatic cancer treatments. The choice depends on the tumor stage and location.
- Chemotherapy: This systemic treatment helps shrink tumors and prolong survival. It involves infusion cycles. A single cycle may cost around $1,180 and includes medication and monitoring. Hospital stay is minimal.
- Pancreatic Cancer Surgery: For localized tumors, resection aims for a cure. This can be open or laparoscopic. A typical surgery package is around $25,950. It includes the procedure, hospital stay, and basic pre-operative tests. Recovery usually takes 10-14 days.
- Whipple Surgery (Pancreaticoduodenectomy): This complex procedure removes the pancreatic head and surrounding tissues. It is a curative option for specific tumors. The price range is between $25,000 and $50,000. The package includes the full surgery and pre-op tests. Hospitalization typically lasts 2-3 weeks.
Discussing your diagnosis with Prof. Pfaffenbach and his team can clarify the best treatment path for your individual case.
