PROFESSOR of liver and pancreas surgery at the NWRHA Shamir Cawich said contrary to what some doctors practise and preach, liver and pancreas cancers in TT in 2021 are no longer a death sentence.
Professor Cawich, president of the Caribbean Chapter of the Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA). spoke to the Newsday after the first international conference hosted by TT on January 30. He said such conditions can now safely be treated in TT with a combination of surgery and chemotherapy for good survival results.
“As little as ten years ago, if you were diagnosed with pancreas or liver cancers, surgeons would pretty much tell you to go take a cruise, enjoy yourself and put your will in order.
