Early stage of pancreatic cancer is the best time for treatment. A colleague of mine was the victim of this disease. Later, he was treated by surgery. The choice of method is very important, which directly affects the prognosis. Here's how to treat early pancreatic cancer.

How to treat early pancreatic cancer

First of all: surgical treatment at present, surgical treatment is the only possible radical treatment of pancreatic cancer, has been accepted by the majority of patients. Surgical methods include pancreatoduodenectomy, extended pancreatoduodenectomy, pylorus preserving pancreatoduodenectomy, total pancreatectomy, etc. There are many types of surgery, according to their own condition, to determine the appropriate treatment, to ensure the effect of treatment.

Second: palliative treatment in the population of pancreatic cancer, some patients are not suitable for radical surgery, this kind of patients can use palliative surgery, often need to relieve obstructive jaundice, generally use cholecystojejunostomy, unconditional can do external fistula (cholecystostomy or bile duct drainage) surgery, most patients can reduce symptoms in a short time, The general survival time is about half a year.

Finally: comprehensive treatment of pancreatic cancer due to the high degree of deterioration, more difficult to treat, so the surgical resection rate is low, poor prognosis. Although surgery is still the primary treatment, pancreatic cancer is often found late and loses the chance of radical treatment, so comprehensive treatment is needed for pancreatic cancer. In the early stage, surgery combined with radiotherapy is the main method; in the middle and late stage, radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy is the main method, which can not only effectively control the disease, but also eliminate the disadvantages of treatment methods, so as to achieve better treatment effect.
