Can pancreatic cancer be cured by surgery

Can pancreatic cancer be cured by surgery? Pancreatic cancer is known as the king of tumors, and pancreatic cancer patients who can undergo pancreatic cancer surgery can be said to be lucky in misfortune. Because surgery is the only treatment that can possibly cure pancreatic cancer, and most patients have already lost the opportunity for pancreatic cancer surgery when they are diagnosed.

What are the contraindications for surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer?

The extent of pancreatic cancer surgical resection varies according to the course of pancreatic cancer. For patients who cannot undergo pancreatic cancer surgical resection, biliary drainage or gastrojejunostomy can be performed to solve the problem of bile duct or duodenal obstruction.

Patients who are in good health and whose cancer cells have not metastasized should undergo pancreatic resection as soon as possible after diagnosis. For tumors located in the tail of the pancreas, the pancreatic body and tail can be simply removed; for pancreatic head cancer with a higher degree of malignancy, pancreaticoduodenectomy or total pancreatectomy can be performed according to the patient's specific situation. Invasion of the portal vein or superior mesenteric venous system is also a common condition of pancreatic cancer. In the past, it was believed that such patients could not undergo surgery; now with the development of medical technology, combined vascular resection is no longer a contraindication for pancreatic cancer surgery.

Don't worry too much about the cure rate of pancreatic cancer. Take effective treatment methods according to the condition and strive for early recovery. The key to whether early pancreatic cancer can be cured depends on whether appropriate treatment methods are taken in time. At present, surgical resection is the most effective treatment for pancreatic cancer. In addition, one-third of patients with early pancreatic cancer have a chance of being cured by combining biological immunotherapy. DC-CIK cell immunotherapy can enhance the immunity of pancreatic cancer patients, prevent the recurrence and metastasis of pancreatic cancer, and most effectively improve the quality of life and survival time of pancreatic cancer patients.

Secondly, some patients in the early and middle stages of pancreatic cancer undergo surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. In the late stages, most of the treatments are symptomatic treatments for conditions such as jaundice. If the patient is too old and not suitable for surgery, he or she can also use traditional Chinese medicine, such as state therapy. State therapy in traditional Chinese medicine can not only be used in combination with Western medicine, but also achieve survival with tumors and increase the survival of pancreatic cancer patients.
