summary

My grandmother has been fighting against the disease of pancreatic cancer. Three years ago, he discovered the disease. At that time, he had early surgical treatment. Six months later, she relapsed and had another operation. Now she has been taking medicine to prevent it. Many patients worry that the effect of pancreatic cancer is still not good even after the operation. What problems should be paid attention to in postoperative activities of pancreatic cancer? Now I'll tell you about our treatment experience.

Postoperative activities of pancreatic cancer patients

First, the most common treatment for pancreatic cancer is surgery. And the effect of surgery is generally good, in general, the early and middle stages of pancreatic cancer, the doctor will recommend surgery. It has been reported that the average survival time of pancreatic cancer is less than 6 months, and its 5-year survival rate is less than 5%. Many patients worry that pancreatic cancer can not prolong the survival time even if it is treated by surgery. In the early stage of pancreatic cancer, doctors will recommend surgery, and the success rate is very high. However, the postoperative treatment of pancreatic cancer is also very important.

Second, early patients with surgical resection, the resection rate will not be very good, or after chemoradiotherapy, so patients are generally advised to remove residual cancer surgery. Considering the age of patients, according to the current constitution may not be able to tolerate the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, once such a situation occurs, the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy will often become a limiting factor for patients to prolong the life cycle.

Third, although the incidence rate of pancreatic cancer is very low, the degree of malignancy is very high. The diagnosis is usually advanced. The survival period is 6 months to 1 years. The patients with short survival time are even less than 3 months after the diagnosis. The most effective treatment for pancreatic cancer is surgery, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not sensitive. Some of the early and middle stage patients underwent surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. In the late stage, some symptomatic treatment for jaundice and other conditions are more common.

matters needing attention

The physical quality of patients with pancreatic cancer is generally poor, which leads to slow recovery of the disease. The diet should ensure that patients have adequate nutrition intake in the body, try to be light, easy to digest, easy to absorb, and do not increase the burden of gastrointestinal tract, and should eat more low-fat, high protein, multi vitamin food. In order to promote the absorption of gastrointestinal tract, improve metabolism, enhance the immunity and disease resistance of patients, and play a good auxiliary role in surgical treatment.
