How to treat pancreatic cancer after metastasis?

Pancreatic cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the digestive tract and the most common malignant tumor. It often occurs in the head of the pancreas. Abdominal pain and painless jaundice are common symptoms of pancreatic head cancer. The incidence rate is relatively increased in patients with diabetes who smoke a lot for a long time and who eat a high-fat, high-animal protein diet. This disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. Male patients are far more common than premenopausal women, and the incidence rate of postmenopausal women is similar to that of men. Due to the hidden nature of the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer, when the patient's body has obvious reactions, most of them are already in the late stage of pancreatic cancer, which is often accompanied by recurrence and metastasis. So how should pancreatic cancer be treated after metastasis?

At present, in the world of medicine, the main treatment methods for pancreatic cancer recurrence and metastasis include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biological therapy. The specific treatment method to be chosen depends on the patient's own physical health and the medical technology conditions of the hospital where he is located. The specific methods are as follows:

Radiotherapy is one of the three major treatments for cancer. It is a treatment method that uses various rays of different energies to irradiate tumors to inhibit and kill cancer cells. Radiotherapy can be used alone or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, etc. as part of comprehensive treatment to improve the cure rate of cancer. A period of radiotherapy before surgery can reduce the size of the tumor, so that patients who were originally unable to undergo surgery can have the opportunity to undergo surgery. For advanced cancer, palliative radiotherapy can be used to relieve compression and relieve pain; chemotherapy is a treatment method that uses chemical drugs to kill tumor cells, inhibit the growth and reproduction of tumor cells, and promote the differentiation of tumor cells. It is a systemic treatment method that has a therapeutic effect on primary lesions, metastatic lesions, and subclinical metastatic lesions. However, chemotherapy kills normal cells and immune (resistance) cells while killing tumor cells. Therefore, chemotherapy is a "burn everything down" treatment method. Chemotherapy still cannot cure tumors, especially for patients with advanced tumors or weak bodies. Blind use of chemotherapy will not only lead to rapid deterioration of the disease, but also accelerate the death of patients.

Treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy can reduce the tumor cell load locally or systemically, and are effective quickly, but they cannot eradicate tumor cells. They are prone to metastasis and recurrence, and have great systemic toxicity and side effects, and are very likely to cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, causing damage to the body's immune function and worsening the patient's condition. Therefore, a more active and effective treatment method is needed for the treatment of pancreatic cancer recurrence and metastasis.

DC+CIK biological therapy is the fourth type of cancer treatment method developed after surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It uses and stimulates the body's immune response to fight, inhibit and kill cancer cells. Different from traditional treatment methods, biological therapy mainly mobilizes the body's natural anti-cancer ability and restores the balance of the body's internal environment, which is equivalent to "strengthening the body and harmonizing yin and yang" in traditional Chinese medicine. Immunotherapy and gene therapy are both biological therapies, and immunotherapy is currently the most widely used in clinical practice.

1. Collect mononuclear cells from the patient's peripheral blood and send them to a specialized GMP laboratory for in vitro culture and induction to obtain mature DC cells with tumor cell recognition ability and more numerous, more active and more lethal CIK cells;

2. The two types of cells are divided into two groups and then infused back into the patient's body like an IV drip, using them to specifically kill tumor cells, which is safe and has no toxic side effects;

3. Activate the human immune mechanism, improve human immunity, and effectively remove the tiny lesions of residual tumor cells in the patient's body, so as to control tumor growth, prevent tumor recurrence, metastasis and deterioration, and achieve the multiple goals of prolonging patient survival and rapidly improving patient quality of life.

The above is how to treat pancreatic cancer after metastasis. Clinically, it is still necessary to choose the appropriate diagnostic method according to the different conditions of the patients. After early exclusion, the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is also of great significance for the later treatment. Expert Tips: If your physical health has symptoms of disease, you can choose the appropriate treatment according to your symptoms, but do not delay diagnosis, and do not let your life be ruined in hesitation. You should go to a regular hospital for medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease and causing serious consequences.
