Treatment of pancreatic cancer

summary

The common treatment of pancreatic cancer is surgery. For example, radical surgery for pancreatic cancer is commonly used in the treatment of this disease, mainly pancreatoduodenectomy. In addition, the treatment of pancreatic cancer can also be pancreatectomy. This treatment method is generally applicable to pancreatic cancer with a diameter less than 2cm, or pancreatic cancer patients without invasion of pancreatic cell membrane. Pancreatic cancer patients without peripheral lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis can also be applied to pancreatectomy. Now let me introduce the treatment of pancreatic cancer

Treatment of pancreatic cancer

The treatment of pancreatic cancer can also use extended radical pancreatectomy, which can be the whole line resection, or pancreatoduodenectomy. Although extended resection has therapeutic effect on pancreatic cancer itself, whether it can improve the long-term survival of others remains to be further studied.

It should be noted that it is often difficult to achieve satisfactory results for the treatment of pancreatic cancer by chemoradiotherapy. Usually chemoradiotherapy can be performed before pancreatic cancer surgery, mainly through chemoradiotherapy to initially reduce a certain amount of cancer cells, so as to reduce the difficulty of surgery.

Radiotherapy or chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer can promote postoperative recovery, and can be conducive to complete tumor resection. In addition to preoperative chemoradiotherapy, postoperative chemoradiotherapy can also reduce the possibility of recurrence of pancreatic cancer. Sometimes the disease needs to be treated with interventional therapy.

matters needing attention

Although pancreatic cancer can be treated with interventional therapy, it often has side effects. Interventional therapy needs to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate the side effects. The living habits of patients with pancreatic cancer must be good, no smoking and drinking, no eating spicy food, no eating deteriorated or overheated food.
