(Italiano) Presa in carico

Despite each case is peculiar, here are the most common options that may be proposed to you:  

  • Surgery. Your operation will be scheduled according to a priority class determined by your surgeon. Routine preoperative work-up will be performed at our day case unit.
  • Additional diagnostic work-up. Your surgeon may decide to perform additional imaging, endoscopic examinations or a biopsy to clarify your diagnosis. These examinations are performed at our day case unit. Afterwards, your case will be reviewed, and a therapeutic decision will be undertaken. 
  • Referral to another specialist. Your case may be not suitable for surgery. You can be referred to specialists of the Verona Pancreas Institute multidisciplinary team (Gastroenterologists, Medical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists), who can indicate the best available care plan for you.
  • Enrollment in a radiologic surveillance protocol. Your condition may be suitable for a periodic radiologic surveillance. This is the case of some subtypes of cystic neoplasms without malignancy concern. Periodic imaging can be performed at our day case unit
  • Multidisciplinary discussion. Particularly challenging patient cases can be discussed at the multidisciplinary meetings, which we regularly hold. These meetings are attended by the Verona Pancreas Institute specialists. Input from this range of experts helps us to deliver comprehensive care for our patients.
