Why is it that only the big hospitals in the US(maybe 4 of them) willing to do a wipple for stage 4 metastisized to the liver. They will do ablations on the liver if necessary and do 12 rounds of chemo first to shrink the tumors and then do a wipple after if they are fit for it. This is the closest process to prolong stage 4 even if it gets them 3 years plus then it is worth it .Why is it that only these hospitals that are willing to go the extra mile but all others even including Canadian hospitals say ther is no hope for stage 4 and don't do anything besides chemo. It's not fair
This is because the rest of the world is behind the US in medical science…and computer science…and physical sciences. I also think it’s because some talent is rare whether it’s throwing a football or operating on a human.
@@MarkCooperMD thank you, it's frustrating because my mom has stage 4(64years old) and all of the Canadian hospitals,even the best one in the country (princess Margaret) has said that wipple is not an option even if chemo has reduced the cancer . We are covered through government healthcare here so we cannot afford to pay for a wipple out of pocket at the top hospitals in the US as that would cost us about $200,000. I am trying to see if any other reputable country can possibly do it for a lower price

MD Anderson is the only place I’d trust to make this decision and perform the operation.
