How to treat pancreatic cancer? So far, the best way to treat pancreatic cancer is surgery, because surgery can completely cure pancreatic cancer. However, if it is discovered late, the patient is generally not suitable for surgery. So what method should be used to treat pancreatic cancer? 1. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the most commonly used treatments for pancreatic cancer, but there will be some side effects. Radiotherapy is only suitable for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer with limited tumor range, and because radiation lacks selectivity, it will also cause damage to normal human cells. Therefore, radiotherapy should be carefully selected to treat advanced pancreatic cancer. If radiotherapy is suitable, it should be combined with Chinese medicine treatment to play a role in sensitization and toxicity reduction. After metastasis occurs in the late stage of pancreatic cancer, chemotherapy is the main way to treat advanced pancreatic cancer. There are also many metastases to the liver and gallbladder. Chemotherapy is not particularly sensitive to pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy will also produce many side effects. It is not widely used in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer, but it is also used as a treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy has side effects. During chemotherapy, the combination of Chinese medicine treatment can reduce the dosage of chemotherapy drugs and enhance the treatment effect. 2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is now also playing its role and is more useful for some patients. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer can take into account the characteristics of the patient's entire body, rather than just the cancer lesions themselves. It can correct certain disorders of the body, remove factors that cause tumor recurrence, and reduce the chance of metastasis; secondly, traditional Chinese medicine has relatively little damage to healthy cells, and generally will not cause new damage to physical strength due to the treatment itself. While the cancer is getting better, physical strength will gradually recover and immunity will be gradually enhanced. Therefore, the treatments for pancreatic cancer include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. These treatments are the most common and most important, especially for patients in the advanced stage. If the treatment is appropriate, it can significantly increase the patient's survival time and relieve the patient's pain. |
