How should pancreatic cancer be treated

How should pancreatic cancer be treated?

Pancreatic cancer should usually be treated through general treatment, surgery, chemotherapy, etc.

1. General treatment:

Pancreatic cancer is a common malignant tumor disease. Its cause is still unclear. It may be related to long-term smoking and drinking, or to chronic pancreatitis, diabetes and other diseases. After the disease occurs, it can cause obvious abdominal pain, indigestion, weight loss and other symptoms. In order to delay the development of the disease, pay attention to maintaining a good mood and avoid excessive mental stress, but also need to pay attention to rest and avoid overwork.

2. Surgical treatment:

If you are in the early stages of the disease and the lesions are limited, you can completely remove them through surgery. Common surgical methods usually include distal pancreatectomy, total pancreatectomy, etc.

3. Chemotherapy:

If you are in the middle or late stages of the disease and cannot be treated surgically, or if the patient's body resistance is very poor and cannot tolerate surgery, you can use chemotherapy for systemic treatment. Common chemotherapy drugs usually include capecitabine tablets, oxaliplatin, carboplatin injection, etc. If there are obvious side effects, you should notify the patient in time and stop treatment if necessary.

In addition to the above treatments, radiation therapy can also be used, which mainly uses radiation to kill cancer cells in the body, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the disease.
