First: surgical treatment, pancreatic cancer surgery can kill large cancer cells to a certain extent, but at the same time, there are disadvantages. Many patients with pancreatic cancer have metastatic lesions not found in the diagnosis before surgery. For many tumors that have no clinical symptoms and are not aware of the spread, surgical treatment can not be carried out.

Second: chemotherapy. The purpose of chemotherapy is to prolong the survival period, improve the quality of life and improve the effect of surgery and other treatments, including adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery and palliative chemotherapy for patients who have not received radical treatment. However, chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, there are certain complications, should be based on the specific condition, to decide whether to chemotherapy.

Third: CyberKnife therapy. CyberKnife is a special equipment for stereotactic radiosurgery of tumors in all parts of the body. Under the guidance of intelligent image, it uses robot arm to accurately and noninvasively eliminate tumors with multiple high-energy rays. Multiple ray beams focus on the lesion area, resulting in very high dose irradiation, and the adjacent normal tissues can be protected from obvious damage. Through 1-5 times of treatment, the body's pancreatic tumor can be destroyed.
