In many cases, surgery will be recommended, and there are different types of surgery available. Which type of surgery that’s recommended will depend on the nature of the condition. One option is for certain parts of the spleen to be removed, depending on where about the cancer is located.
In some cases, the Whipple procedure will be performed. This involves the removal of parts of several organs.
