The survival of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer varies slightly depending on how well their disease is controlled. If they are more sensitive to chemotherapy, survival is about six months to a year or even longer. However, most advanced patients are not sensitive to chemotherapy and are treated palliatively for symptom relief and quality of life, and their survival may be about 3 months. Pancreatic cancer is one of the tumors with high malignancy and poor prognosis. Most patients are already in the middle and late stages when diagnosed, and only less than 10% of patients can be detected early. If detected early and treated aggressively with surgery, patients can survive for about one and a half to two years. For patients with intermediate and advanced pancreatic cancer, the opportunity of radical surgery is lost, and the main choice is palliative treatment or radiotherapy to control the disease and relieve the pain. For advanced patients with good effect of radiotherapy, the survival period can reach more than half a year; most patients choose palliative treatment, the survival period is about 3 months. However, it does not mean that the survival period of advanced patients must be extremely short. Maintaining a good state of mind and active treatment is important to prolong life and improve life quality. Anti-cancer treatment is also closely related to the patient’s own state, and it is especially important for advanced stage patients to enhance physical fitness and improve resistance. Meanwhile, avoid greasy food in diet and eat more anti-cancer, pain-relieving and anti-infection foods, such as bitter melon and walnuts, etc.
