summary

Some time ago, my friend's father found out that he suffered from pancreatic cancer. Fortunately, he found it in time and went to the hospital for surgical treatment. Now that he is under certain control, I will tell you about how to test whether he has pancreatic cancer, so that you can find this disease as soon as possible.

How to self test for pancreatic cancer

First, abdominal ultrasound is the first choice for screening and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. It is characterized by simple operation, no injury, no radiation, and can be observed in multi axial plane. It can better show the internal structure of pancreas, whether there is obstruction in biliary tract and the location of obstruction.

Secondly, some people will feel uncomfortable after meals when the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer occur, and then the discomfort will continue to exist, and the discomfort will aggravate after eating. The nature of the discomfort can not be described, and the scope of upper abdominal discomfort can not be clearly pointed out.

Finally: abdominal discomfort and pain are aggravated when lying on the back, and relieved when bending down, lying on the side, and bending knees, or abdominal pain is accompanied by back and left shoulder pain. Sometimes the location of the pain can not be clearly pointed out, but there is progressive aggravation, gradually turning into distending pain and low back pain.

matters needing attention

Patients with pancreatic cancer must have a positive attitude to face and treat this disease. They should be treated as early as possible in a regular tumor hospital. The incidence rate of pancreatic cancer is not high, but the degree of malignancy is very high. The diagnosis is usually advanced. The survival period is 6 months to 1 years, and the survival time is short. Even after the diagnosis is expected, the time is less than 3 months.
