Pancreatic tumors are difficult to be 'surrendered', mostly related to 3 reasons, these kinds of people should be especially careful
Pancreatic tumor is also known as the king of tumors. It is a malignant tumor of the digestive tract. It has a high degree of malignancy and is difficult to diagnose and treat. It is also the tumor with the worst prognosis. The early diagnosis rate of pancreatic tumors is very low, the operative mortality rate is high and the cure rate is extremely low. Why are pancreatic tumors so difficult to treat?
- The tumor was discovered relatively late
Early detection of most tumors can improve the cure rate, and the later the tumor is found, the more difficult it will be to treat. Because the pancreas grows in a special place, it is hidden deep in the body, behind the retroperitoneum, and surrounded on all sides. The intestines coil in front of the pancreas, and bones and muscles accumulate behind it. General physical examination can not see the state of the pancreas, so it is not easy to find problems. In addition, the pain sensory nerves of the pancreas are not very obvious, and there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage. When a pancreatic tumor is found, it has reached the middle and advanced stage and missed the best treatment time.
- Strong drug resistance
Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the three major cancer treatments. However, pancreatic tumor cells are not very sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the treatment effect is almost useless.
- Treatment is difficult
Most tumors will be removed surgically, but pancreatic tumor surgery involves a wide range of complications and brings many complications, so the operation is difficult. Often because of some minor problems, bile and pancreatic juice leak out, and pancreatic juice can corrode surrounding organs and even cause massive bleeding.
- Patients with pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is one of the high-risk factors for pancreatic tumors. If pancreatitis is not treated effectively, it can develop into chronic pancreatitis. Repeated chronic pancreatitis will accelerate the development of pancreatic tumors.
- People with indigestion and alcoholism
The pancreas is involved in the digestion of food, and the exocrine system of the pancreas can secrete a large amount of enzymes. When there is a problem with the function of the pancreas, it will inevitably affect the digestive tract. Generally, people with long-term digestive tract diseases are closely related to abnormal pancreatic function, which increases the risk of pancreatic tumors. In addition, alcoholism can also accelerate the development of pancreatic tumors.
- Patients with gallstones
There is an interface between the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct. In patients with gallstones, the interface is easily blocked, so that the pancreatic fluid cannot pass through the channel normally and enter the intestinal tract to digest food. Over time, pancreatitis will be caused and pancreatic tumors will develop.
- Middle-aged and elderly men
Pancreatic tumors often occur in men, and the risk of developing pancreatic tumors increases with age. Because the weight of the pancreas will decrease with age, and the function of the pancreas will deteriorate, so pancreatic tumors are prone to occur.
Kind tips
Since pancreatic tumors are so malignant and difficult to treat, the first priority is to actively prevent pancreatic tumors. Avoid high animal protein and high fat diets. Ensure that meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits and whole grains are matched in a reasonable proportion, not partial or picky, and eat less fried and grilled food. Do not smoke, because cigarettes contain a lot of tumor-causing substances, which can increase the risk of developing pancreatic tumors. Not to mention overeating and alcoholism, because this will cause chronic pancreatitis, and the pancreatic organs will be stimulated by chronic inflammation for a long time, which will increase the risk of developing pancreatic tumors. Try not to come into contact with harmful chemicals such as aniline and naphthylamine, and take precautions during work. Participate in physical exercise more often, maintain moderate exercise to enhance physical fitness, and at the same time maintain a good attitude and not be overly anxious. In addition, to actively control blood sugar, diabetic patients strictly follow the doctor's instructions.
