Does pancreatic cancer need resection

summary

For pancreatic cancer, many people are at a loss and don't know whether it needs to be resected. Therefore, I have made a special study recently. Now I will tell you whether it needs to be resected.

Does pancreatic cancer need resection

First, surgery can remove cancer, but there are still residual cancer, or regional lymph node metastasis, or the existence of tumor thrombus in blood vessels. Long term treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can prevent recurrence and metastasis.

Second, pancreatic cancer can be treated with chemotherapy. The purpose is to prolong the survival time, 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.

Third, pancreatic cancer can be treated with targeted drugs. With the research of pancreatic cancer related genes and signaling pathways, targeted therapy has become a new method for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Currently, the reported targeted drugs for pancreatic cancer mainly include erlotinib, cetuximab, bevacizumab, etc., but the curative effect is far from satisfactory, which still needs further exploration.

matters needing attention

Pancreatic cancer must be found early and treated early. At ordinary times, we should always pay attention to our own physical changes. If we find discomfort, we should go to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment.
