Color Doppler ultrasound for pancreatic cancer

summary

When my grandfather got the result of pancreatic cancer, his family was shocked. It was only after the diagnosis of many hospitals that they believed it. Once it was detected, they had to treat it as soon as possible. Let's take a look at the color Doppler ultrasound for pancreatic cancer.

Color Doppler ultrasound for pancreatic cancer

First of all: cancer patients with early symptoms of weight loss, abdominal pain, low back pain and other symptoms. Abdominal color Doppler ultrasound is the first choice for screening and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Color Doppler ultrasound can be used to observe the internal structure of pancreas, bile duct obstruction and the location of obstruction. However, the limitation of color Doppler ultrasound is small field of vision, easy to be affected by gas in stomach and intestines and body shape. So cancer patients do pathological examination is the most accurate, color Doppler ultrasound is auxiliary examination.

Secondly: ultrasound examination: it is convenient and easy to do, which is very useful for the preliminary judgment of pancreatic tumor. At the same time, it can be seen that the detection of liver, intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct tumors is the most commonly used method for the diagnosis of pancreatic tumor at present. In addition, ultrasound-guided biopsy of pancreas can be taken to make clear the pathological diagnosis. However, the accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis is limited by the operator's technology, the patient's hypertrophy and gastrointestinal gas.

Finally: CT scanning: it is one of the most commonly used methods in the diagnosis of pancreatic tumor. The diagnosis of pancreatic tumor must be done with enhanced CT, otherwise it is impossible to judge the situation of peripheral vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis. The accuracy of CT or ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer can reach 85%, and its specificity can reach almost 100%. FNA may be particularly useful for pancreatic tail and body lesions or metastases when there is no indication for surgery or when they are unwilling to undergo surgery.

matters needing attention

Let me stress to you: Patients with pancreatic cancer should maintain a good mental state, establish the confidence to overcome the disease, adopt an optimistic attitude towards life, and explain more rehabilitation cases to patients, so that they can receive treatment with a good attitude.
