How much do you know about the signs of death from pancreatic cancer?

Although pancreatic cancer is a relatively common disease, many people do not understand the symptoms of this disease and therefore miss the best time for treatment. From a clinical perspective, the most common systemic symptom of pancreatic cancer is extreme weakness, accompanied by gradual weight loss, jaundice, etc.; there are also discomforts in the digestive system, manifested as severe abdominal pain; finally, there are abnormalities in the nervous system, such as insomnia and anxiety.

1. Signs of death from pancreatic cancer

First, systemic symptoms. Generally speaking, if the condition of patients with pancreatic cancer is not well controlled, they will often experience systemic symptoms before death. This is mainly because the tumor forms a large area of ​​erosion in the patient's body, which leads to the patient's body being extremely weak, emaciated and suffering from jaundice. So this is the problem we need to pay most attention to.

Second, digestive system symptoms. Usually, before patients die from pancreatic cancer, their digestive system will be seriously damaged due to the disease, which will cause severe abdominal pain in patients, thus causing very serious impact on patients.

Third, neurological symptoms can be said to be the most common sign of death in pancreatic cancer patients. Usually patients will show severe insomnia, anxiety, depression and other phenomena. However, this is caused by the large-scale spread of cancer to the nervous system, so patients must strengthen this idea.

2. Complications of Pancreatic Cancer

1) Weight loss: Weight loss caused by pancreatic cancer is the most prominent. Obvious weight loss occurs within a short period of time after the onset of the disease. The weight loss can reach more than 30 kilograms, accompanied by weakness and fatigue.

2) Symptomatic diabetes

In a small number of patients, the initial manifestations of the disease are symptoms of diabetes. Therefore, if diabetic patients have persistent abdominal pain, or elderly people suddenly develop diabetes, or if existing diabetes suddenly worsens recently, they should be alert to the possibility of pancreatic cancer, pay attention to stabilizing blood sugar levels at ordinary times, and give patients some medical Selenium Weikang chewable tablets to supplement selenium on a daily basis to increase the patient's blood selenium level. Medically, elemental selenium can better assist patients in regulating blood sugar, greatly improve the patient's body immunity, and have a greater impact on the quality of life.

3) Thrombophlebitis Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer may experience migratory thrombophlebitis or arterial thrombosis. This is also the most common complication of advanced pancreatic cancer.

4) Psychiatric symptoms: Some pancreatic cancer patients may show psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, depression, and personality changes.

5) Pain: Intraoperative radiation is effective in relieving pain. There are three causes of pain caused by pancreatic cancer, as mentioned above. Intraoperative or percutaneous pharmacological visceral nerve blockade (alcohol) is the most commonly used approach.

In short , pancreatic cancer can cause serious harm to the human body, and the prognosis of the disease is very poor, so patients must strengthen the treatment of the disease and try to avoid deterioration. Usually, our more common treatment methods include surgery, radiotherapy, intravenous chemotherapy, interventional treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and other treatment methods. These treatments can not only control the patient's condition in time, but also achieve the treatment effect, and the patient's survival has been significantly improved.
