How to prevent pancreatic cancer recurrence

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor. Due to its highly invasive nature, it can lead to a very poor prognosis. Many pancreatic cancer patients need surgical treatment, but after the operation, the patient's physical vitality is severely damaged, and postoperative recurrence is very common. In addition to ensuring the treatment of the disease after pancreatic cancer surgery, efforts must also be made to restore the body, but people often fail to realize that preventing the possibility of cancer cells from recurring must also be paid attention to.

What are the strategies to prevent recurrence of pancreatic cancer after surgery?

1. Improve immunity

Most patients who have undergone pancreatic cancer surgery are weak and have low immunity. Traditional Chinese medicine plays a great role in pancreatic cancer surgery, effectively improving the patient's immunity and inhibiting the development of cancer cells. In recent years, the treatment of pancreatic cancer with traditional Chinese medicine has made great progress, especially the establishment of the principle of strengthening the body and strengthening the foundation, which further reflects the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

2. Combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy

In terms of anti-tumor treatment, for patients with early pancreatic cancer, postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the main means to prevent the metastasis and recurrence of cancer cells. Patients need to have regular and timely check-ups and seek medical attention immediately if they find abnormal symptoms. It should be noted that as long as the recurrence of pancreatic cancer patients after surgery is in the middle and late stages, it is difficult to have another surgery opportunity. At present, the better radiotherapy method is CyberKnife treatment. CyberKnife treats pancreatic cancer, using a robotic arm to accurately and non-invasively destroy tumors with multiple beams of high-energy rays under the guidance of intelligent imaging. Multiple beams of radiation are focused on the lesion area to cause very high doses of irradiation, while the adjacent normal tissues are protected from obvious damage. Through 1-5 treatments, the effect of destroying tumors in any part of the body can be achieved.

3. Symptomatic treatment after surgery

Since the pancreas is an important endocrine gland in the human body, patients who have undergone partial or complete pancreatectomy will face the problem of abnormal blood sugar. Patients need to strictly control blood sugar through medication and diet adjustment to prevent complications caused by abnormal blood sugar.
