My only brother was just diagnosed with a squamous carcinoma of the pancreas. He is 49 and otherwise very healthy. It has not metasticized except perhaps local lymph nodes. It is too big to resect at this point, so the treatment is chemo- cisplatin and gemzar. Apparently, this is a very rare form of pancreatic cancer and I am hoping that someone out there has some experience that can help us. We are wondering if it should be treated more like a squamous carcinoma and less like pancreatic cancer.
Thank you so much in advance
