Is vomiting due to pancreatic cancer serious?

Vomiting symptoms in pancreatic cancer generally indicate a more serious condition and the patient may have advanced cancer, intestinal obstruction, or severe cancer pain.

1. Late stage cancer: Pancreatic cancer is a serious disease and progresses rapidly, but it rarely causes vomiting. When late stage cancer spreads and metastasizes, abdominal pain and vomiting are severe. At this time, the patient's condition is very serious and needs active treatment. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapy can inhibit the growth and spread of tumors, prolong life and improve the quality of life.

2. Combined intestinal obstruction: Pancreatic cancer is divided into pancreatic head cancer and pancreatic tail body cancer. The tumor location is similar to the stomach. The growth of the tumor may compress the adjacent digestive tract, causing intestinal obstruction, food accumulation in the intestines, and vomiting. Patients should be discovered, diagnosed, and treated early to avoid further development of the tumor.

3. Severe cancer pain: The development of pancreatic cancer will invade the abdominal plexus, compress the nerves, and cause diffuse pain in the back and anterior abdomen, severe abdominal pain and frequent vomiting, which is called cancer pain. The cancer pain symptoms of pancreatic cancer are very severe, manifested as obvious resting pain, and gradually worsen.

Patients with pancreatic cancer should pay attention to nutritional supplements and maintain a comfortable mood in their lives. For vomiting, fasting, water abstinence, gastrointestinal decompression and other methods can be used to relieve symptoms depending on the cause.
