An elder has been feeling pain in his lower abdomen for some time. He went to the hospital and was found to have pancreatic cancer. Fortunately, it is still in the early stage and there are many ways to treat it. Let me talk about how to treat pancreatic cancer.

How to treat pancreatic cancer

First, for patients with early pancreatic cancer, it mainly depends on whether the appropriate treatment is taken in time. For early pancreatic cancer, surgical resection is the most effective treatment. Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is the main surgical method for pancreatic cancer, but pancreatic fistula is easy to occur after operation, which is the main cause of death in Whipple operation. Pancreaticojejunostomy is feasible to prevent pancreatic fistula. In addition, the operation of pancreatic cancer is difficult and requires high precision, so it is recommended that patients go to a regular large hospital for operation.

Second, for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, it mainly depends on whether the treatment is appropriate and the patient's physical condition. In clinic, the treatment methods of advanced pancreatic cancer mainly include radiotherapy and chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment of pancreatic cancer. Although pancreatic cancer is not sensitive to chemotherapeutic drugs, chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer can prolong the survival period to a certain extent, so that part of the disease can be alleviated.

Third: the treatment of pancreatic cancer is also closely related to the patient's physical function. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can we resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, it is very important to improve the immune function and enhance the resistance to tumor in patients with pancreatic cancer, especially in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. In diet, patients with pancreatic cancer should eat more anti-cancer and analgesic food, such as walnut, balsam pear, malt, etc.; should eat more anti infection food, such as olive, plum, mung bean, balsam pear, etc.; avoid greasy and high-fat food.
