What are the dangers of pancreatic cancer?

First, it is not easy to detect in the early stage

A common danger of pancreatic cancer is that it is difficult to detect in the early stages. Generally speaking, the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer are diverse and atypical.

If pancreatic cancer is not treated in time, it will also cause gastroparesis. Experts point out: its commonly used diagnostic criteria are examination to confirm that there is no obstruction in the gastric outflow tract; gastric juice>800ml/d, for more than 10 days; no obvious abnormalities in water, electrolytes and acid-base balance; the treatment of gastroparesis is mainly to fully decompress the gastrointestinal tract, strengthen nutrition or psychological suggestion treatment; and use gastrointestinal motility drugs.

Third, the operation is relatively difficult

Pancreatic cancer is very harmful and difficult to treat. In addition, surgery is difficult: the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen are interrelated in terms of anatomy and physiology, as well as in the occurrence and development of their respective diseases and surgical treatment. These four organs are all located in the upper abdomen and have the same blood supply and nerve innervation. The diseases they produce affect each other, and the clinical manifestations are easily confused with each other. The surgical operations are relatively complicated, and the scope of surgical resection may involve each other.
