summary

During this period, I feel that I don't have much appetite to eat. I can't eat when it's serious, and I can't sleep well at night. Let's talk about the safest treatment for pancreatic cancer.

What is the safest way to treat pancreatic cancer

Method 1: palliative treatment. In the incidence of pancreatic cancer, some patients are not suitable for radical surgery. Palliative surgery can be used for this kind of patients, which often needs to relieve obstructive jaundice. Generally, cholecystojejunostomy is used. If there is no condition, external fistula (cholecystostomy or external drainage of bile duct) can be performed to reduce jaundice. Most patients can relieve symptoms and improve the whole body condition in a short time, Generally, the survival time is about half a year.

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.
