What are the drugs for treating pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a very difficult malignant tumor disease. This disease is not only difficult to treat but also very harmful to the patient's body. The general treatment method for pancreatic cancer is now surgery, but the risk of surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer is still very high. The mortality rate of surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer is relatively high. All pancreatic cancer patients and their families should know about this. So what are the drugs for treating pancreatic cancer? Let's give a detailed introduction to this issue.

The following drugs are most effective for pancreatic cancer:

Uracil Tegafur Tablets are the fastest and most effective in treating pancreatic cancer: they are used for digestive tract cancers such as gastric cancer, intestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and can also be used for breast cancer, nasal cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer. Taking the medicine before and after surgery can prevent the recurrence, spread, and metastasis of cancer. Mild bone marrow suppression manifests as leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Mild gastrointestinal reactions are mainly loss of appetite and nausea. Some patients may experience vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, which may disappear after stopping the drug. Other reactions include fatigue, chills, fever, headache, dizziness, ataxia, skin itching, pigmentation, mucositis, etc. This product is a compound preparation of tegafur and uracil. Each tablet contains 50 mg of tegafur and 0.112 g of uracil.

Gemcitabine hydrochloride for injection has the fastest and best effect in treating pancreatic cancer: it is suitable for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, intermediate and advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The recommended gemcitabine dose for adults is 1000mg/m2, intravenous drip for 30 minutes, once a week, for 3 consecutive weeks, followed by a week of rest, and repeated every four weeks. The dose should be reduced accordingly based on the patient's toxic reactions. Inject 0.9% sodium chloride injection into each bottle to make the gemcitabine concentration ≤40mg, shake to dissolve, and the required amount of drug can be further diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride injection for administration. The prepared gemcitabine solution should be stored at room temperature and used within 24 hours. The gemcitabine solution must not be refrigerated to prevent crystal precipitation.

Mitomycin for injection has the fastest and best effect in treating pancreatic cancer: This product is mainly suitable for gastric cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian cancer and cancerous effusion. 6-8 mg each time, dissolved in sodium chloride injection and injected intravenously once a week. It can also be 10-20 mg once, and the treatment is repeated every 6-8 weeks. The simultaneous use of this product with doxorubicin can increase cardiac toxicity. It is recommended that the total amount of doxorubicin be limited to less than 450 mg/m2 per body surface area. Bone marrow suppression is the most serious toxicity, which can cause leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Leukopenia often occurs 28-42 days after medication and generally recovers in 42-56 days.

The above is a detailed introduction to what drugs are the fastest and most effective for pancreatic cancer. I believe everyone has already understood that as long as pancreatic cancer patients go to a regular hospital for treatment in time and persist in treatment, the treatment effect of pancreatic cancer patients will eventually be very significant.
