Surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer?

summary

Pancreatic cancer is a particularly difficult cancer to treat because it is rarely detected at an early stage due to a lack of symptoms. Once detected, cancer is usually quite advanced and unlikely to respond well to treatment. The treatment of pancreatic cancer depends on the type, location and stage of the cancer. Surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer?

First, surgery is the only possible cure. Surgical methods include pancreatoduodenectomy, extended pancreatoduodenectomy, pylorus preserving pancreatoduodenectomy, total pancreatectomy, etc. However, the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is difficult, the resection rate is low, and the five-year survival rate is also low.

Second: for the patients who are not suitable for radical operation, it is often necessary to relieve obstructive jaundice. Generally, cholecystojejunostomy is used. If there is no condition, external fistula (cholecystostomy or external drainage of bile duct) can be performed to reduce jaundice. Most patients can relieve symptoms in a short time and improve their general condition. The general survival time is about six months.

Third: chemotherapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer, or to prevent postoperative recurrence, can be chemotherapy. Chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer is expected to reduce the incidence of recurrence and metastasis. Radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer is less sensitive to radiotherapy.

matters needing attention

1. Advocate low-fat, low protein, high fiber and high vitamin diet: gold found that fresh fruits and vegetables can prevent the occurrence of pancreatic cancer. 2. Reduce environmental pathogenic factors: good environmental factors play an important role in the prevention of pancreatic cancer. Contact with radioactive materials should be reduced or avoided, and good protective measures should be taken for personnel engaged in radioactive work.
