When pancreatic cancer develops ascites, the symptoms of ascites should be improved in time instead of trying to cure it completely, because the possibility of cure is not great at this time. So what should we do if pancreatic cancer causes ascites?

Western medicine treats ascites in the late stage of pancreatic cancer by surgical drainage, but this method is only effective for a short time and will recur soon after drainage. It is difficult to cure it. In addition, when the ascites is discharged, it will cause protein loss and malnutrition of the body.
