Can pancreatic cancer be cured

summary

I got pancreatic cancer, and now I'm in the hospital for treatment. I've been in the hospital for more than two months, but I haven't seen any improvement. In order to prevent this situation, I'd like to introduce to you the problem of whether pancreatic cancer can be cured.

Can pancreatic cancer be cured

Method 1: palliative treatment. In the incidence of pancreatic cancer, some patients are not suitable for radical surgery. Palliative surgery can be used for this kind of patients, which often needs to relieve obstructive jaundice. Generally, cholecystojejunostomy is used. If there is no condition, external fistula (cholecystostomy or external drainage of bile duct) can be performed to reduce jaundice. Most patients can relieve symptoms and improve the whole body condition in a short time, Generally, the survival time is about half a year.

Method 2: at present, surgical treatment is the only possible radical treatment for pancreatic cancer, which has been accepted by the majority of patients. Surgical methods include pancreatoduodenectomy, extended pancreatoduodenectomy, pylorus preserving pancreatoduodenectomy, total pancreatectomy, etc. However, the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is difficult, the resection rate is low, and the five-year survival rate is also low. For the patients with jaundice, cholecystectomy or jejunostomy can not be used to improve the quality of life. Stents can also be placed under endoscopy to relieve obstruction.

Third: endocrine therapy. Some scholars believe that the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), pan and Con-A in pancreatic cancer tissue is related, especially the level of ER. According to the situation, estradiol treatment may have a certain effect.

matters needing attention

As mentioned above, there are three treatments for pancreatic cancer. However, if we look at each one separately, the effectiveness of these treatments is not very good. However, if the three methods are combined, they may have different therapeutic effects. As for the specific treatment details, patients with pancreatic cancer still need to consult their doctors, because everyone's physical condition and age level are different.
