summary
My father is 63 years old. On June 4, he had a resection of glandular head tumor, and 1 / 3 of the stomach and 12 finger intestines were removed at the same time. The operation was very successful, but after discharge, he had a bad appetite. He often felt that his stomach was swollen and his hands felt stiff. He didn't eat much food at ordinary times. Today, let me share with you the question of whether local recurrence of pancreatic cancer can be cured.
Can local recurrence of pancreatic cancer be cured
First, patients with unresectable lesions and no distant metastasis can be treated with electrochemical therapy. The principle of electrochemical therapy is that direct current is applied to the lesion site, and the local chemical environment is changed to kill tumor cells. The lesion is exposed by laparotomy, and electrochemical therapy is carried out under direct vision. The ideal therapeutic effect is obtained. The pain relief rate is 88.9%, and the effective time of pain relief is 3-28 months, with an average of 6 months
Second, immunotherapy. The commonly used antitumor immune agents are: ① levamisole; ② thymosin preparation; ③ interferon inducer, such as polymyocyte; ④ transfer factor (TF); ⑤ immune ribonucleic acid (IRNA).
Third: endocrine therapy. Some scholars believe that the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), pan and Con-A in pancreatic cancer tissue is related, especially the level of ER. According to the situation, estradiol treatment may have a certain effect.
