5 treatment settings, 3 with more than one named option. Each section lays out the options the standard of care names, what each is for, the trials behind them with their recorded results, the side effects and cautions on record, and questions to ask. Built from the cancer page's standard-of-care rows; nothing here is advice for your case.
Imaging of abdomen and chest, serum alpha-fetoprotein and biopsy; genetic review for Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis.
A CT scan is a fast 3D X-ray that shows the size and shape of tumours and whether they have spread.
MRI uses a strong magnet and radio waves, with no ionising radiation, to picture soft tissue in finer contrast than CT, so it is the standard scan for brain tumours, prostate, rectal cancer staging, liver lesions and breast screening in high-risk women. It is slow, expensive and blurred by movement.
A test of the DNA you were born with, to find inherited risk genes such as BRCA or Lynch syndrome.

Complete resection (pancreatoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy); adjuvant chemotherapy after incomplete resection.
This setting names no product or technology record yet; the approach above is the standard as written. Ask your team which specific treatments they mean.
No trial record is attached to this row yet. The trials tab lists what is recruiting and the landmark trials for this cancer.
No side-effect rates or interaction flags are recorded for these options yet. The side-effect lookup and interaction checker cover the products that have them.

Neoadjuvant cisplatin and doxorubicin (PLADO, as in hepatoblastoma) followed by delayed resection when the tumour shrinks.
Cisplatin is the original platinum chemotherapy, discovered by accident in 1965; it cures testicular cancer and makes radiation work better in cervical and head and neck cancer.
The red chemotherapy drug from a soil bacterium that is still the backbone of treatment for sarcoma, lymphoma and breast cancer, limited by cumulative heart damage.

Cisplatin and doxorubicin-based chemotherapy with resection of residual disease where possible; radiotherapy for unresectable residual tumour; international registry enrolment.
Cisplatin is the original platinum chemotherapy, discovered by accident in 1965; it cures testicular cancer and makes radiation work better in cervical and head and neck cancer.

Lifelong follow-up for pancreatic insufficiency, diabetes and the late effects of platinum and anthracycline chemotherapy.
Protecting the ability to have children before cancer treatment that damages eggs, sperm or the womb: sperm and egg or embryo freezing, ovarian tissue freezing, ovarian shielding and, for some breast cancers, temporary ovarian suppression.
