What to do if a benign tumor of the pancreas is inoperable

Benign tumors of the pancreas can be treated with interventional therapy if they are inoperable. The best option for benign pancreatic tumors is to remove them through surgery. For patients with inoperable benign pancreatic tumors, they can also be treated in other ways: commonly used interventional methods include: vascular interventions (such as transcatheter arterial embolization), non-vascular interventions (including percutaneous ablation, ultrasound ablation, percutaneous radioactive particle implantation, etc.). Transcatheter arterial embolization: Embolization of blood supply vessels to block the blood supply to the tumor and then cause tumor necrosis and shrinkage. Radiofrequency ablation is a thermophysical ablation surgery: after the radiofrequency needle accurately penetrates into the tumor body, the radiofrequency needle connected with the generator can emit high-frequency frequency waves, which can stimulate ionic oscillations in the tissue cells and produce heat, and the local temperature can reach 80 to 100℃, which can quickly and effectively make the local tissues dehydrate, coagulate and dehydrate, etc., and cut off the blood supply around the tumor. Helioblade: Using ultrasonic waves to penetrate human tissues without damage and focus in the body to produce thermal effect, cavitation effect, mechanical effect, etc.; the temperature of the focal point can reach 60-100℃, which leads to coagulative necrosis of tissues at the focal point without damaging the normal structures outside the focal point. It is recommended to go to the regular hospital to assess the condition, follow the doctor’s instructions to cooperate with the treatment, and choose the appropriate program to avoid delaying the condition.
