Where is pancreatic cancer advanced treated

summary

My mother couldn't eat and sleep well recently, so I was very worried, so I took her to the hospital for examination. The result showed that it was pancreatic cancer, and it was already advanced. Although it was under treatment, the effect was not very good. Today, let me talk about the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer.

Where is pancreatic cancer advanced treated

First, advanced pancreatic cancer is basically incurable. The mortality rate of advanced pancreatic cancer is basically more than 99%. It can be treated in the early stage, and surgery is generally used. But pancreatic cancer is now the new king of cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 3% (due to the lack of early detection).

Second: symptomatic treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer is also essential. Patients with intractable abdominal pain can be given analgesics or anesthetics. If necessary, 50% ethanol or nerve anesthetics can be used for intraperitoneal plexus injection or sympathetic ganglion block therapy, or celiac nerve resection, or epidural anesthesia for analgesia.

Third, all kinds of supportive therapy are also very important for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. They can be given intravenous high nutrition and amino acid infusion to improve their nutritional status. For patients with digestive and absorptive disorders, pancreatin preparation can be given appropriately. For patients with severe obstructive jaundice can be given vitamin K and so on.

matters needing attention

Although there are many options for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer, if the disease is serious, the cancer is large, and the cancer cells spread widely, it will lose the significance of treatment, and excessive treatment will not only not help the disease, but also accelerate the death of patients.
