In Barcelona, leading medical centers are implementing innovative surgical techniques that expand treatment possibilities for pancreatic cancer, including cases that were previously considered inoperable.
At Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge, a complex surgical procedure was successfully performed using a pioneering technique that enabled the complete removal of a pancreatic tumor involving major blood vessels. Advanced surgical planning and vascular reconstruction made it possible to preserve blood flow and significantly reduce the risk of complications.
Similarly, Hospital Universitari Vall d’Hebron, one of Spain’s leading oncology centers, applies a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer, combining highly specialized surgery with modern systemic therapies.
These advances represent a real expansion of therapeutic options and provide new treatment opportunities for patients who previously could only receive palliative care.
