How to avoid hereditary pancreatic cancer

summary

In March last year, the patient was diagnosed with duodenal papillary carcinoma, and then underwent resection. In October this year, the doctor said that it had metastasized to pancreatic cancer. Now it's painful every day, with more vomit, poor appetite and weight loss. In order to prevent this situation, I'd like to introduce how to avoid hereditary pancreatic cancer, which is a concern of all.

How to avoid hereditary pancreatic cancer

First, cancer has a genetic predisposition, but it may not always occur. For some common cancers, such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer and skin cancer, the medical profession has mastered the relevant genetic information, and can test the gene through blood, and then determine the probability of cancer in the patient's family members

Second, although the causes of pancreatic cancer are various, genetic factors need to be considered. Therefore, the next generation of pancreatic cancer should prevent the occurrence of disease more than ordinary people.

Third: most patients with pancreatic cancer have no family history, but about one tenth of them are hereditary. For every immediate family member, such as parents and siblings, who developed pancreatic cancer, the risk of pancreatic cancer increased by 40%.

matters needing attention

For those families with more than two family members developing pancreatic cancer, if other family members quit smoking, the risk of pancreatic cancer can be greatly reduced.
