How to treat pancreatic cancer recurrence

summary

I've been suffering from pancreatic cancer for some time. Because of pancreatic cancer, I can't work normally. Now I'm hospitalized. Let's talk about how to treat the recurrence of pancreatic cancer.

How to treat pancreatic cancer recurrence

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.

Method 3: due to the high degree of deterioration of the course of pancreatic cancer, it is difficult to treat, so the surgical resection rate is low, and the prognosis is poor. 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. So far, like most tumors, there is no effective and completely applicable comprehensive treatment. At present, the comprehensive treatment is still based on surgical treatment, supplemented by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and new methods such as combined immunity and molecular therapy are being explored.

matters needing attention

As mentioned above, there are three treatments for pancreatic cancer. However, if we look at each one separately, the effectiveness of these treatments is not very good. However, if the three methods are combined, they may have different therapeutic effects. As for the specific treatment details, patients with pancreatic cancer still need to consult their doctors, because everyone's physical condition and age level are different.
