It is possible for duodenal adenocarcinoma patients to survive for 20 years, but the possibility is relatively small.
The possible survival time of duodenal adenocarcinoma patients can not be judged only by the disease, but also by the treatment of the disease, the severity of the disease and the patient’s own situation, etc. At present, the five-year survival rate of early stage of duodenal adenocarcinoma is about 25%, and the expected survival in the late stage is seldom more than one year.
Duodenal adenocarcinoma is a kind of malignant tumor with high degree of malignancy and relatively serious condition. Early symptoms of duodenal adenocarcinoma are atypical, and in the early stage, there is usually only pain in the right upper abdomen, which is often misdiagnosed and ignored.
The site of duodenal adenocarcinoma usually leads to more serious complications, such as biliary obstruction, pancreatic obstruction, etc. With the development of the disease, the function of liver and pancreas will be affected.
The main treatment for duodenal adenocarcinoma is surgery, but the surgery is large in scope, involves many parts and has many postoperative complications, so the prognosis is poor.
Due to high malignant degree and many complications, the prognosis of duodenal adenocarcinoma is often poor, but it is possible to survive for 20 years with timely and perfect treatment and care. Please consult the doctor in time and actively cooperate with the treatment under the guidance of professional doctors to prolong the survival and improve the prognosis.
