This factsheet is for people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer who are having surgery to remove the cancer. Family members may also find it helpful. We describe the different types of surgery to remove pancreatic cancer, how to prepare for your operation, what to expect, and recovery afterwards. This factsheet does not cover surgery for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs).
