Dear all,
My father has been diagnosed with duodenal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the liver and mesenterium. The exact medical diagnosis and steps taken are summarized by our doctor as follows:
"An explorative laparotomy on 23rd of February 2006 for an obstructive distal duodenum tumour, which was locally irresectable due to invasion of the mesenterium. Furthermore there was a liver metastasis present in segment IV.
Histopasthology shows an adenocarcinoma without any neuroendocrine differentiation."
I am trying to find as much information on treatment possibilities as I can.
Can anybody please help me out with:
* the contact data of a renowned cancer institute regarding abovementioned type of cancer ? We are already in touch with the MSKCC.
* information on general but also experimental treatment for duodenal adenocarcinoma (monoclonal antibodies, interferon)..... anything ??
We're desperate and open for all potential treatment possibilities for the moment.
Thanks in advance !
Regards, Natascha
