Stomach cancer invading the pancreas is classified as stomach cancer metastasis.
Stomach cancer invading pancreas refers to the spread or metastasis of cancer cells originated from stomach, causing damage to pancreas and forming new cancer lesions. This is a manifestation of advanced stage of stomach cancer, which is very difficult to treat and seriously affects the survival period of patients and the survival rate will be reduced.
When gastric cancer metastasis invades into pancreas, it is recommended to cooperate with professional oncologists for chemotherapy and targeted therapy as soon as possible in order to effectively control the condition and slow down the deterioration of the condition. In this case, the survival period of patients is limited, and the main purpose of treatment is to alleviate patients’ pain, control the speed of disease development, prolong the survival period and improve the quality of survival.
Gastric cancer invades the pancreas, resulting in coexistence of gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer, and the prognosis of patients is very poor, so they must actively cooperate with oncologists for standardized treatment.
