Recently, my blood sugar is a little high. I went to the hospital and found that it was pancreatic cancer. Today, let me share with you the question of how long it will take to cure pancreatic cancer.

How long does it take to cure pancreatic cancer

Treatment 1: surgery is the preferred treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer. In the past few decades, great progress has been made in the surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer. The surgical mortality has decreased from about 20% in the 1980s to 3% at present, but the 5-year survival rate is still less than 5%. However, it is a pity that the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer are hidden. Most of the patients are in advanced stage when they are diagnosed. The cancer is relatively large and spreads rapidly. It is almost impossible to completely remove the cancer cells by surgery. Postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy, cellular immunotherapy and other comprehensive treatment methods are needed.

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.

Method 3: due to the high degree of deterioration of the course of pancreatic cancer, it is difficult to treat, so the surgical resection rate is low, and the prognosis is poor. 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 new methods such as combined immunity and molecular therapy are being explored.

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.
