summary

Surgery is an important way to treat pancreatic cancer. My grandfather lived for a long time after surgery. There are many influencing factors, which are closely related to the treatment status and usual nursing. Let's take a look at how long you can live after pancreatic cancer surgery.

How long can general pancreatic cancer live after operation

First of all: according to incomplete statistics, the five-year survival rate of patients with pancreatic cancer after surgery is still low, which is reported to be only 3% - 25%. However, early stage is the best time to treat pancreatic cancer. Patients should grasp the opportunity and actively treat it.

Second: occasionally, patients with large tumors have a long survival time after operation. Such patients have small lesions and no lymphatic invasion, which is really rare. The average survival time of patients after pancreatectomy is 17 months, that is, the average survival time of patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy is 17 months. Recent studies have pointed out that perioperative blood transfusion is harmful to the survival rate after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Finally: as long as it is a malignant tumor, we should try our best to find, diagnose and treat it as early as possible if we want to prolong the postoperative survival. However, most of the tumors are asymptomatic in the early stage, and they are generally in the middle and late stage when they are found, not to mention the highly malignant pancreatic cancer. Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is not easy. The time from the first symptom to the diagnosis is about 4-9 months. The resection rate is less than 24%. As a result, the 5-year survival rate of most reports is less than 10%.
