Sequelae of pancreatic cancer surgery

Pancreatic cancer is a relatively difficult cancer to treat because of the high risk of surgical resection. Patients are less sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the late stage, which can also cause some pain to patients. Therefore, early detection is critical for pancreatic cancer patients, and the condition can be alleviated through traditional Chinese medicine treatment. So, what are the sequelae of pancreatic cancer surgery?

1. Weight loss: Weight loss caused by pancreatic cancer is the most prominent. Obvious weight loss occurs within a short period of time after the onset of the disease. The weight loss can reach more than 30 kilograms, accompanied by weakness and fatigue.

2. Symptomatic diabetes: In a small number of patients, the initial manifestations of the disease are symptoms of diabetes. Therefore, if a diabetic patient has persistent abdominal pain, or an elderly person suddenly develops diabetes, or a pre-existing diabetic has a sudden worsening of the disease, you should be alert to the possibility of pancreatic cancer.

3. Thrombophlebitis: Migratory thrombophlebitis or arterial thrombosis may occur in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

4. Psychiatric symptoms: Some pancreatic cancer patients may show psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, depression, and personality changes.

From the above, we can see the impact of pancreatic cancer surgery on patients, sometimes there will be similar menopausal mental symptoms. Therefore, when treating pancreatic cancer, it is better to choose a comprehensive method combining traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and patients should also actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
