Which pancreatic cancers need chemotherapy

summary

In October this year, the doctors said that pancreatic cancer is now under treatment. In order to prevent this situation, I'd like to introduce which pancreatic cancer needs chemotherapy.

Which pancreatic cancers need chemotherapy

First, surgical treatment, early surgical resection is the most effective treatment for pancreatic cancer, but the patients with clinical symptoms and confirmed by examination are mostly advanced pancreatic cancer, and the surgical resection rate is only 10% - 71%.

Second: radiotherapy. With the continuous improvement of radiotherapy technology, the curative effect of radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer has been significantly improved, which can often significantly improve the symptoms and prolong the survival period. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used during and after operation. High dose local irradiation and radionuclide local implantation irradiation can be used for patients without surgical conditions.

Third: chemotherapy: Although the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is difficult, the resection rate is low, and it is not sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the timely use of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, biological response regulators, hormones and other comprehensive treatment, including preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Radiotherapy and / or chemotherapy and other drugs for unresectable limited advanced patients are better than single therapy, and may prolong the survival time.

matters needing attention

There are many treatment methods for pancreatic cancer, surgical treatment is also the choice of many patients, but to ensure the therapeutic effect of surgery, patients must pay attention to their own postoperative care. As patients with pancreatic cancer, we should first establish the confidence to cure the disease and face the disease optimistically.
