Why does pancreatic cancer occur at a young age?

In recent years, pancreatic cancer has become one of the major diseases that endangers society and human health, and it has brought great pain and distress to humans. In order to reduce the incidence of pancreatic cancer, we humans should understand the reasons why pancreatic cancer occurs at a young age:

Since pancreatic cancer has atypical clinical symptoms, it is difficult to diagnose in the early stage. It is often treated as a digestive tract disease, and early diagnosis is poor. In addition, pancreatic cancer is easy to metastasize, and once discovered, it is often in the middle and late stages. At present, the incidence rate of pancreatic cancer is about 9-10/100,000, and the age is concentrated in the 40s. Although the surgical resection rate of pancreatic cancer is only 15%-20%, and the cost of treatment is also quite expensive, surgical resection is still the only hope for long-term survival of pancreatic cancer patients.

It is very important to be vigilant about pancreatic cancer. In particular, early pancreatic cancer is not asymptomatic in most cases, but the symptoms are hidden and non-specific. Therefore, if you experience upper abdominal discomfort, indigestion, abdominal pain, jaundice, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, diarrhea, and sudden diabetes, and after excluding other diseases, you should consider the possibility of pancreatic cancer.

Experts suggest that, on the one hand, monitoring of high-risk groups should be strengthened; on the other hand, the time for diagnosis should be shortened as much as possible. For example, hospitals can set up a multidisciplinary collaboration group composed of relevant departments such as surgery, internal medicine, imaging diagnosis and pathology to open up a "green channel" for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Currently, not only China, but also countries around the world have not done enough work. The main reason is the low incidence rate. It is difficult to find some clues that are most likely to cause pancreatic cancer. We know some of the first symptoms and some of the genetic background, including some unhealthy lifestyles that are related to this. These are the results of a large number of correlation studies, which are of certain help to our screening.

In the prevention of pancreatic cancer, different experts have proposed some high-risk groups. The view of high-risk groups is that such people may be more likely to get the disease, or should be paid more attention to. Such people have a common feature. First of all, we look at their age of onset. Most of them are over 40 or 50 years old. Patients over 50 years old are more likely to get the disease if they smoke for a long time, eat high-protein and fried foods for a long time, and drink alcohol. They have such an unhealthy lifestyle.'

The above is the reason why pancreatic cancer is showing a trend of younger age. Expert Tip: If you have symptoms of disease, do not delay diagnosis and go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease and causing serious consequences.
