Generally speaking, pancreatic tail cancer can live about 3 months to 5 years, which is related to the pathologic type of the tumor, the effect of surgical treatment and the physical quality of the patient to a certain extent. If the tumor in the tail of pancreas is still in the early stage, with low malignant degree, without invading the surrounding tissues and lymph nodes, or with less invasion range, it is feasible to perform surgical treatment by radical resection of cancerous foci and metastatic lymph nodes, and then give corresponding radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery, the survival rate of the patients can reach 60-70% or even more than that, and they can even survive for a long period of time. If the tumor in the tail of the pancreas has reached the middle or late stage, and the malignancy degree is high, the situation is serious, and it has invaded a large range of lymph nodes around, or there have been distant metastases, then the treatment effect is poorer, and the surgery can not completely resect all the parts invaded by the tumor, and it is still necessary to add the treatment modes such as chemotherapy or targeted drugs after the operation, and the survival period of patients in this situation is shorter, and they can only live for 3 months to 2 years in general. Therefore, for people with a history of pancreatitis, family history and other high-risk groups of pancreatic cancer, they should regularly check their pancreas and make early detection and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
