Detailed introduction to several methods of checking pancreatic cancer

According to surveys, pancreatic cancer is a common tumor disease in my country, which can seriously endanger the patient's health and life. If pancreatic cancer is not checked in time, the patient's condition may continue to deteriorate. Therefore, everyone should understand the examination methods of pancreatic cancer in advance so that patients can receive treatment in time. The following is an introduction to the examination items of pancreatic cancer.

Tests for pancreatic cancer include:

1. CT examination can show the correct location and size of pancreatic tumors and their relationship with surrounding blood vessels, and can detect tumors with a diameter of about 1 cm. If the scan can be enhanced, or some lesions that are difficult to identify with plain scans can be displayed more clearly, low-density irregular lesions can be seen in the enhanced pancreatic parenchyma. This examination can be used for staging to help determine the surgical method and prognosis. Currently, CT has become the main method for diagnosing pancreatic cancer. The accuracy rate of CT diagnosis of pancreatic cancer can reach 98%. This type of pancreatic cancer examination is relatively common.

2. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can show abnormal pancreatic contours. Based on the signal level of T1-weighted images, early local invasion and metastasis can be determined. MRI is superior to CT scanning in determining pancreatic cancer, especially small pancreatic cancer confined to the pancreas, as well as the presence or absence of peripancreatic metastasis and vascular invasion. It is a better method for examining pancreatic cancer.

3. Ultrasonic examination with fiber gastroscope: An ultrasonic probe is installed on the top of the gastroscope, which is close to the posterior wall of the stomach to conduct a comprehensive examination of the pancreas without interference from gas. This greatly improves the diagnosis rate of pancreatic cancer, can clearly display the pancreatic structure, and detect early lesions. This is also one of the examination methods for pancreatic cancer.

The above is the examination of pancreatic cancer. I hope everyone can understand it one by one. As long as the examination method of pancreatic cancer is combined as soon as possible, the patient can find out the disease in time and receive good treatment. So please remember the examination items of pancreatic cancer, which will be of certain help to the patient's condition. Finally, I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
