What are the differences between stage 1 and stage 2 pancreatic cancer

The differences between stage I and stage II pancreatic cancer mainly include different lesion ranges, clinical stages, symptoms, survival rates, and treatment methods.

1. Different ranges of lesions: In stage I pancreatic cancer, the lesion may be smaller than 2 cm, and the range is relatively small. In stage II pancreatic cancer, the lesion may be between 2-4 cm, and the range is relatively larger.

2. Different clinical stages: Stage I pancreatic cancer can be divided into stages Ia, Ib, and Ic. Stage II pancreatic cancer usually has no detailed stages.

3. Different symptoms: In stage 1 pancreatic cancer, there may be no symptoms or slight upper abdominal discomfort. In stage 2 pancreatic cancer, there may be abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, back pain and other symptoms.

4. Different survival rates: The survival rate of pancreatic cancer stage I is slightly higher than that of pancreatic cancer stage II, which is slightly lower than that of pancreatic cancer stage II.

5. Different treatment methods: For stage I pancreatic cancer, surgical resection may be required. For stage II pancreatic cancer, surgical resection may be combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments.

Stage I pancreatic cancer belongs to the early stage of the disease, and stage II pancreatic cancer belongs to the slightly middle stage of the early stage of the disease. In short, it is necessary to cooperate with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in time to prevent the metastasis of cancer cells. At the same time, you should also pay attention to a balanced diet and exercise appropriately to enhance your physical fitness.
