How to treat pancreatic cancer after recurrence

summary

Before my grandfather used surgery for pancreatic cancer, the effect was very good, but later there was a recurrence. At this time, we must deal with it as soon as possible to avoid metastasis. Let's take a look at how to treat pancreatic cancer after recurrence.

How to treat pancreatic cancer after recurrence

First, surgical treatment is the only possible radical method. 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.

Second: palliative treatment for patients who are not suitable for radical operation, it is often necessary to relieve obstructive jaundice. Generally, cholecystojejunostomy is used, and external fistula (cholecystostomy or external drainage of bile duct) can be performed for those who have no conditions. Most patients can relieve symptoms in a short time and improve the general state, and the general survival time is about six months.

Third: comprehensive treatment of pancreatic cancer due to the high degree of malignancy, low resection rate, poor prognosis. Although surgery is still the primary treatment, pancreatic cancer is often found late and loses the chance of radical treatment, so comprehensive treatment is needed for pancreatic cancer. So far, like most tumors, there is no effective and completely applicable comprehensive treatment. At present, the comprehensive treatment is still based on surgical treatment, supplemented by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the new method of combining immune and molecular biological therapy is being explored.
