How to effectively prevent and treat pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most malignant tumors and is known as the "king of cancer" in the medical community. Pancreatic cancer often occurs unconsciously, with early symptoms of upper abdominal discomfort, and then develops very rapidly. Most cases are already in the late stage once diagnosed, and the time from diagnosis to death is often only 3 to 6 months.

Now more and more data show that while the incidence of pancreatic cancer in my country is increasing year by year, the age of patients is also gradually getting younger. Professor Zhao said that in the past, pancreatic cancer patients in China were generally over 60 years old, but now there are quite a lot of patients over 40 years old.

Because the pancreas is located deep, most patients are already in the late stage once diagnosed, so it is particularly important to choose a treatment plan tailored to the individual. In addition to surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatment methods, biological therapy, gene therapy and other treatment methods have also been continuously explored in recent years. To truly conquer pancreatic cancer, the most important thing is to pay attention to early diagnosis.

If you are over 40 and have upper abdominal discomfort that is not caused by gallbladder or stomach disease and the cause cannot be found, you should be highly vigilant. If it is accompanied by obvious unexplained weight loss, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time for early diagnosis and treatment.
