How is pancreatic cancer bone metastasis diagnosed

summary

I felt a little pain in my abdomen these days. I thought it was caused by unsanitary diet. But later I found that my appetite became worse. I went to the hospital for examination, which showed pancreatic cancer. After treatment for some time, I went to the hospital for reexamination. The doctor said that bone metastasis had begun. Now let's talk about how to diagnose bone metastasis of pancreatic cancer.

How is pancreatic cancer bone metastasis diagnosed

First, direct infiltration: the most common rupture and adjacent organs. Pancreatic head cancer is easy to invade the lower end of common bile duct, portal vein, duodenum and transverse colon. Carcinoma of the body and tail of the pancreas may invade the splenic vein, causing portal vein embolism and portal hypertension. After the invasion of pancreatic capsule, the tumor cells can fall off and cause intraperitoneal metastasis.

Second, metastasis around nerve: pancreatic head cancer is more common. Because of its invasion into the celiac plexus, lymphatic metastasis (in fact, a special way of lymphatic metastasis) around the retroperitoneal nerve causes intractable back pain.

Third: the prognosis of bone metastasis of pancreatic cancer is poor. In addition to the treatment of primary tumor, the treatment of bone metastasis should be active. The purpose is to effectively relieve pain symptoms, restore the function of various tissues and organs, prevent or delay the occurrence of bone related symptoms, and improve the quality of life of patients with bone metastasis of pancreatic cancer.

matters needing attention

There are so many ways of advanced metastasis of pancreatic cancer. At that time, many things are out of control. What we can do is to establish a healthy lifestyle before it occurs. We must find out in time at an early stage and treat it in time.
