As an important part of the body, the pancreas has a high mortality rate if something goes wrong, especially pancreatic cancer compared to cancers of other internal organs.
A set of data can prove that in 2020, there are 130,000 newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer patients in China, of which more than half of them died, which is related to the high degree of malignancy of pancreatic cancer.
Therefore, if it can be detected and treated early, it can avoid exacerbation and organ failure, thereby reducing mortality.
So, after the occurrence of pancreatic cancer, which 4 reminders will be shown by the body, the following to understand.
First, weight loss in a short period of time
Cancer cells in the body to develop, the need for a lot of nutrition, so that weight will be rapidly reduced, especially pancreatic cancer, because there are many adjacent organs around, such as the intestine and stomach, cancer cells from these organs to obtain nutrients, will affect the health of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in nutrient loss, many patients will have a short period of weight loss performance occurs.
Second, epigastric pain
Since the pancreas sits on the left upper abdomen, if there is a health problem, the pain in the upper abdomen will be very pronounced.
However, in the early stages of the disease, the pain is relatively mild and paroxysmal, and many people do not pay attention to it, but over time, the pain will become more and more obvious, which also means that the disease has developed to a serious stage.
Therefore, we remind everyone that once the symptoms of left upper quadrant pain suddenly appear recently, whether it is obvious or not, they should go to the hospital for examination at the first time to prevent the condition from becoming more and more serious.
Third, the body is uncomfortable
Because this manifestation is too wide and sometimes not prominent, it will be ignored by many people, which is why most patients have advanced disease progression when pancreatic cancer is diagnosed.
In particular, some nausea and vomiting reactions are often mistaken for other diseases, and this is because the pancreas is very close to the stomach, once the stomach is pressed, it will cause these reactions, and if it compresses other organs, there will be other reactions.
Fourth, yellow skin
Yellow skin is clinically known as jaundice, a problem that is not only associated with gallbladder damage, but also with pancreatic disease.
Especially after pancreatic cancer occurs, it is easy to invade or squeeze the lower end of the common bile duct, and then increase the level of bilirubin in the body.
Therefore, the most typical manifestation of the patient's body is the yellowing of the face color, and when the disease becomes more and more serious, the color of the excrement will also change.
Some of the manifestations after the occurrence of disease in the pancreatic area have been introduced clearly above, and after the occurrence of the disease, whether it can recover depends on the severity of the disease and the clinical treatment method.
Generally mild disease does not affect the function of the patient's organs, through active treatment and conditioning, it can return to normal conditions.
However, if the condition is serious, the degree of damage is large, and the conservative treatment effect is not good, surgical treatment should be considered, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy after surgery for pancreatic cancer patients.
Finally, pancreatic cancer patients are reminded that if they want to be surgically removed, they should also retain the pancreatic function to the greatest extent possible to avoid the adverse effects of complete resection.
The main diseases of the pancreatic part are pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, as long as pancreatitis patients pay attention to more rest, do not drink alcohol, do not eat greasy and spicy food, do not overeat, the disease can be controlled.
After pancreatic cancer occurs, it is necessary to be hospitalized, and the specific treatment plan should be arranged by the doctor, after all, there is no specific drug for cancer so far.
But patients do not need to worry too much, as long as they can be detected early and treated early, most of the disease can be alleviated.
