Recently, my friend went to the hospital for pancreatic cancer surgery. I don't know if there is any recurrence in this surgery. At present, the situation is relatively stable. Let's talk about how long the surgery will last for malignant pancreatic cancer.
How long does operation of malign pancreatic cancer last
Treatment 1: surgery is the preferred treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer. In the past few decades, great progress has been made in the surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer. The surgical mortality has decreased from about 20% in the 1980s to 3% at present, but the 5-year survival rate is still less than 5%. However, it is a pity that the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer are hidden. Most of the patients are in advanced stage when they are diagnosed. The cancer is relatively large and spreads rapidly. It is almost impossible to completely remove the cancer cells by surgery. Postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy, cellular immunotherapy and other comprehensive treatment methods are needed.
Treatment 2: radiotherapy and chemotherapy can control local symptoms, and has good effect in inhibiting cancer cells, but there are some limitations. Radiotherapy has a lot of toxic and side effects, can make patients more tired, skin damage and even hair loss; chemotherapy can kill cancer cells, but also damage normal cells, so that patients have a series of side effects, such as vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and red blood cells, white blood cells, low blood platelets, etc., the elderly and the weak can not bear. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy combined with cellular immunotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer can effectively improve the immune mechanism of patients, reduce the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, improve the drug resistance of patients, and greatly improve the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Treatment 3: cellular immunotherapy can also be used alone in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Cellular immunotherapy is the fourth tumor treatment mode after surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is a method to suppress and treat tumors by stimulating the human autoimmune system. Cellular immunotherapy can effectively remove residual lesions, prevent recurrence and metastasis, enhance the body's immunity, and accelerate the recovery of the body. It is safe, reliable, accurate, simple, time-saving, and does not need special care. It is suitable for elderly and frail patients with other systemic diseases who are not suitable for surgery or surgery failure.
matters needing attention
With the development of medical technology, there are more and more ways to treat diseases, so as patients with pancreatic cancer, don't worry too much about the treatment of the disease. In the process of treatment of disease, patients should also pay attention to their own nursing work, to develop good eating habits is also very important.
