Tumour Marker Panel — Consultation & Advanced Imaging in Pancreatic Surgery

Tumour Marker Panel feeds directly into the decisions made during the consultation & advanced imaging phase. Skipping or rushing it increases the risk of mis-staging, avoidable complications, and unplanned reoperation, which is why Dr. Arefin's team treats it as a checklist item, not an optional step.

Most patients are guided through preparation at the consultation. Bring all prior imaging on disc, a list of current medications (including blood thinners and herbal supplements), and a family member who can help recall instructions afterwards.

Dr. Arefin's pancreatic surgery pathway runs at Popular Medical College Hospital, Dhanmondi, Dhaka. Imaging, lab work, and procedural steps are coordinated in-house to minimise repeat visits.
