How to treat pancreatic cancer and how to maintain it at ordinary times?
From diagnosis to treatment, patients with pancreatic cancer have been hit mentally, psychologically and physically. In this case, it is extremely important to pay attention to self-care and regular inspection. Pay attention to choose foods that are easy to digest, nutritious, less irritating and low in fat ... Surgery is the main treatment for early pancreatic cancer. If the operation is completely removed, the patient may survive for a long time. However, pancreatic cancer surgery will cause damage to the patient's tissue, loss of qi and blood, make the patient weak, and easily lead to cancer recurrence, cancer cell diffusion and metastasis. Therefore, after the surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer, we should cooperate with Chinese medicine in time to enhance the body's resistance, improve the patient's diet and sleep, and enhance the patient's physique, which has a positive effect on preventing the recurrence and metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Most of the advanced pancreatic cancer has multiple metastases, and the chances of surgery are not great. Even if surgery can be performed, it is only a palliative local resection. The treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer mainly includes radiotherapy and chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine, which should be based on the principle of combining traditional Chinese and western medicine. Chemotherapy is one of the commonly used methods to treat advanced pancreatic cancer, but it has some serious shortcomings, such as "no distinction between the enemy and me" (cancer cells and normal cells are killed together), the effective dose is very close to the toxic dose (less dose does not work, more dose is prone to toxic reactions), and the most obvious toxic side effects, such as impaired digestive function and suppressed hematopoietic function of bone marrow, often make it difficult for patients with pancreatic cancer to receive chemotherapy or unable to insist on completing the whole course of treatment because of serious reaction. At the same time of chemotherapy and after chemotherapy, combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, such as invigorating spleen and stomach, benefiting qi and promoting blood production, nourishing liver and kidney, can better alleviate the chemotherapy reaction and contribute to the smooth progress of chemotherapy. Radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer also has obvious radiotherapy response, which makes many patients have to interrupt radiotherapy. It should also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment such as supplementing qi and blood during and after radiotherapy, which has a good effect on increasing the number of white blood cells and enhancing immune function, thus ensuring the smooth progress of radiotherapy. When pancreatic cancer recurs during the treatment, we must face it bravely, maintain a good mental state, try our best to keep the law of daily life, participate in outdoor activities appropriately, and actively cooperate with doctors for diagnosis and treatment.
