      In similar cases, adult patients are usually given chemotherapy first. However, the girl was diagnosed with a rare type of pancreatic cancer that does not respond to medication. Surgery was required, which is quite rare for children.

      The patient, the daughter of a veteran of a special military operation, went to see pediatric oncologist Sergei Tupunogov at the Regional Children's Clinical Hospital due to back pain. An MRI revealed a tumor. The girl was hospitalized and underwent a puncture biopsy to establish an accurate diagnosis.

      The child was operated on by specialists from the Regional Children's Hospital and City Hospital No. 1. Over the course of several hours, the tumor had to be literally separated from the blood vessels by millimeters, after which part of the affected pancreas and the duodenum (the initial section of the small intestine located just after the stomach - note from Uralweb) were removed.

      To restore the integrity of the digestive tract, the doctors formed surgical connections between the small intestine and the healthy part of the pancreas, stomach, and common bile duct.

      After the operation, the patient spent seven days in the intensive care unit and then another three days in the pediatric oncology department. All the anastomoses healed successfully. Chemotherapy was not required, and ten days later, the girl was discharged with an absolutely favorable prognosis.
