The doctors are deciding weather he need surgery to have it removed...... Can anyone help? Natazz Fri, 27 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT Localized pancreatic cancer is the best kind to have. It means the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body, but is localized within the pancreas. Generally, this means it can be removed with surgery. This is really the only cure for pancreatic cancer. Oncrx Fri, 27 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT
