summary
The incidence rate of pancreatic head enlargement is still high in life. Pancreatic cancer is a very dangerous thing. You should be very clear about it. Some patients are very worried about pancreatic enlargement. So, is pancreatic head enlargement pancreatic cancer? What are the symptoms of pancreatic cancer?
How is pancreatic head enlarge to return a responsibility
The first is: the cause of pancreatic enlargement is more common than the retention cyst, due to pancreatic duct external compression, pancreatic duct stones, inflammatory stenosis, and so on. It can also be caused by congenital pancreatic duct development. * this is also known as congenital cyst. The pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer is complicated, which is related to chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, high protein, high fat, high calorie diet, and smoking.
Second, the typical symptoms of pancreatic cancer are jaundice and abdominal pain, in addition to weight loss, upper abdominal fullness, low back pain, fatigue and so on. If the pancreatic true cyst is a small cyst, the patient may have no obvious symptoms; if it is a large cyst, due to cyst compression, cystic cavity and pancreatic duct high pressure, the patient may have upper abdominal or back pain and digestive system symptoms, such as fullness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal mass and so on. If the cyst rupture into the abdominal cavity, there is acute peritonitis performance; break into the digestive tract can form fistula, and repeated high fever, abdominal pain, and even upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Third: imaging examination, B-ultrasound examination: pancreatic head enlargement, irregular shape of pancreatic body, pancreatic duct dilatation, gallbladder enlargement and intrahepatic metastasis can be seen in patients with pancreatic cancer. In patients with pancreatic true cyst, the location and range of liquid dark area can be detected in the upper abdomen.
matters needing attention
1. Abdominal pain: especially upper abdominal pain, is the most common symptom of pancreatic cancer, and tumors can appear in the head or tail of the pancreas. 60% ～ 80% of the patients presented with epigastric pain, and 85% of the patients with epigastric pain could not be resected or were in advanced stage. 2. Jaundice: jaundice is an obvious indication of pancreatic head cancer symptoms. At this time, we should pay attention to skin itching and other problems. Jaundice is obstructive, accompanied by dark yellow urine and clay like stool, which is caused by the invasion or compression of the lower end of the common bile duct. Jaundice is progressive, although there may be slight fluctuations, but it can not completely subside. 3. Gastrointestinal symptoms: mainly manifested in loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and other manifestations, so patients should pay attention to this situation. Anorexia is related to the obstruction of the lower end of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct by tumor, and the inability of bile and pancreatic juice to enter the duodenum. Obstructive chronic pancreatitis of the pancreas leads to poor pancreatic exocrine function, which will inevitably affect appetite.
