Pancreatic cancer is known as the "king of cancer" because of its short course, rapid onset and high mortality, and has always been a research hotspot in the world medical field. Pancreatic cancer is called the king of cancer, first of all, because it is difficult to find. If there is no targeted examination in the early stage, there will be no adverse reactions to the body. As long as there are specific symptoms in the body, they are generally in the middle and late stages, which will be difficult to treat, so the mortality rate is high.

Generally, the incidence of pancreatic cancer in men is higher than that in women, with a ratio of 2: 1. Male patients are far more common than premenopausal women, and the incidence of postmenopausal women is similar to that of men. Another feature is that pancreatic cancer is difficult to be found early, because even if there is obvious discomfort in special parts, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as stomach disease until the symptoms get worse and obvious distant metastasis occurs. At this time, I suddenly realized that it was the real murderer.

Pain is the main symptom of pancreatic cancer, whether the tumor is located in the head or tail of the pancreas. Generally, the pain has nothing to do with diet, but is persistent and accompanied by weight loss. Because the pancreas is located in the deep part of the body, conventional detection can't find cancer in time, so once it is found, it is mostly advanced. When relatives of pancreatic cancer without family history are diagnosed with diabetes, they should go to the hospital for pancreatic CT screening in time to avoid missing the best treatment period.

The other is treatment. Generally speaking, surgery is the most effective way to treat cancer. However, because the pancreas and other parts are covered with blood vessels, it is not suitable for surgery, so it is also an important reason for the increase in mortality.
