Can pancreatic cancer be cured?

  Pancreatic cancer cannot be cured. Pancreatic cancer is a kind of malignant tumor of the digestive tract with high malignancy, which is difficult to diagnose and treat. Since the pancreas is located deep in the abdominal cavity of human body, there are no typical symptoms in the early stage, and it is often found in the middle and late stage. In the early stage of pancreatic cancer, through timely surgery and small lesions, there is still a certain possibility of cure and patients can have a chance of long-term survival. However, about half of pancreatic cancer patients have already lost the chance of surgery when they are diagnosed, so surgery is difficult and the prognosis is poor.  The treatment of pancreatic cancer mainly includes surgery, radiation ionization, targeted therapy and biological therapy, which can greatly improve the effect of surgical treatment.  The cure of pancreatic cancer is mainly related to the patient’s age, early or late detection, pathological type and treatment method, as well as the effect of postoperative adjuvant therapy.  Early detection and early treatment have a great impact on the cure of pancreatic cancer patients. If you have pancreatic cancer-related manifestations after the age of 40, you should go to the hospital for examination, CT, blood sampling and CA199 in time; pay attention to rest, do not overwork, eat reasonably, develop good habits, have regular medical checkups and detect the disease early.
