Pancreatic cancer is a common malignant tumor, the disease develops very quickly, it is easy to metastasize, usually metastases are liver metastases, lung metastases, bone metastases and so on, of which bone metastases of pancreatic cancer is the most common, so once suffering from pancreatic cancer, it is necessary to treat in time, otherwise it will lead to the deterioration of the disease and develop into other diseases. Let me share the symptoms of bone metastasis in pancreatic cancer.
Symptoms of bone metastasis in pancreatic cancer
Symptom 1: most patients only pay attention to obvious bone pain caused by bone metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Many patients begin to treat this pain as lumbocrural pain, lumbar disc herniation, sciatica and other diseases. Until the symptoms become worse or the bone pain is unbearable, further examination will find bone metastasis. But at this time, most of them have missed the best opportunity to treat pancreatic cancer.
Symptom 2: cancer pain is the main symptom of patients with bone metastases. Most patients complain of nocturnal pain. Patients with spinal bone metastases may have corresponding pain with characteristic manifestations due to different locations. For example, the radiation pain caused by middle thoracic cancer is a band around the back of the chest; the pain caused by lumbar body cancer can radiate to one or both sacroiliac bones, anterior superior iliac spine or groin, resulting in bladder function and sexual dysfunction; When the cancer invades the sacrum, there is pain in the lower waist or sacrococcygeal region, and it can radiate to the perineum or around the anus.
Symptom 3: bone metastasis of pancreatic cancer, mostly occurs in the middle and late stage, surgical treatment is difficult, the effect is not good. At the same time, due to its own characteristics, pancreatic cancer is not sensitive to chemotherapy and the effect is not obvious. Usually, radiotherapy is often used for bone metastasis of pancreatic cancer, which can not only reduce the pain, but also effectively control the disease, relieve the pain and prolong the life span. At present, CyberKnife radiotherapy is generally used, with accurate treatment and small side effects, which is suitable for patients with weak constitution, metastasis and diffusion. At the same time, patients can use traditional Chinese medicine adjuvant treatment, can significantly improve the patient's immunity, improve the treatment effect of the disease.
