What are the good treatments for stage 4 pancreatic cancer?

Good treatments for stage 4 pancreatic cancer usually include general treatment, oral Chinese medicine, chemotherapy, etc. Treatment should be strictly followed according to the doctor's advice to avoid affecting the control of the disease.

1. General treatment:

The cause of pancreatic cancer is still unclear. It may be related to heavy smoking and drinking, or it may be related to frequent exposure to chemicals. If pancreatic cancer develops to the fourth stage, it usually means distant spread, and the body's resistance may be significantly reduced. We should pay attention to ensure adequate sleep and not overwork. We also need to pay attention to strengthening dietary management. You can eat more pineapples, cherries and other foods with high nutritional value.

2. Oral Chinese medicine:

Pancreatic cancer is a wasting disease. After the disease occurs, the body's Qi and blood will be over-consumed. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral Qi-replenishing and blood-replenishing Chinese medicine can be used for auxiliary treatment. Common medicines include ginseng, white atractylodes, astragalus, etc.

3. Chemotherapy:

If pancreatic cancer in stage 4 is treated surgically, the lesion may not be effectively removed. Under the guidance of a doctor, chemotherapy can be used to remove cancer cells in the body. Common chemotherapy drugs usually include paclitaxel injection, carboplatin injection, cisplatin injection, etc.

In addition to the better treatment options mentioned above, radiation therapy can also be used for treatment, which can more effectively kill cancer cells in the body and increase the patient's survival time.
