What are the causes of pancreatic cancer and how to prevent it?  Although pancreatic cancer is difficult to treat, it is still possible for patients to survive with the tumor as long as they choose the right medicine.

Among the many malignant tumors, the incidence of pancreatic cancer is not high, but it is known as the “king of cancer”. What is the reason?

In fact, behind pancreatic cancer, whose incidence is not “remarkable”, it “hidden” a very high mortality rate! “Low morbidity and high death” is the main reason for pancreatic cancer “king”!

According to statistics, the average survival time of patients with pancreatic cancer from diagnosis to death is only 3-6 months! How did such “terrible” pancreatic cancer happen?

 

 

Factors that induce pancreatic cancer:

1. Genetic factors:

Although pancreatic cancer is not a genetic disease, it has a very obvious familial aggregation! Relevant studies have shown that if one person in the family has pancreatic cancer, the risk of pancreatic cancer for the rest of the family is about four times that of others; if two people in the family have pancreatic cancer, this The risk of cancer will increase to about 12 times.

2. Bad diet:

The pancreas is an important part of the human digestive system and is mainly responsible for the digestion of protein, fat and sugar. Therefore, people who frequently eat high-protein, high-fat, and high-sugar foods usually have a heavier burden on their pancreas, and inflammation occurs more frequently, which can induce pancreatic cancer under long-term action. In addition, grilled, pickled, smoked, fried and other foods contain a lot of carcinogens, long-term consumption will also increase the risk of pancreatic cancer!

3. Smoking:

Data show that active smokers or passive smokers have a 2-2.5 times higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer than non-smokers. This is because the nicotine contained in cigarettes directly affects the normal secretion of the pancreas, and promotes the specific N-nitrite and other carcinogens in the tobacco to flow back into the pancreas, thereby triggering a pancreatic cancer reaction!

4. Endocrine disorders:

Studies have shown that the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer are related to the level of certain hormones in our body, such as growth hormone and estrogen! Therefore, people with chronic endocrine disorders have a relatively higher risk of pancreatic cancer!

Among the factors that induce pancreatic cancer, apart from genetic factors that we cannot change, we can all correct the rest through a good lifestyle, thereby reducing the risk of pancreatic cancer! How should it be done?

 

 

How to prevent pancreatic cancer?

Primary prevention:

Removal of all self and environmental factors related to the occurrence of pancreatic cancer, etiological prevention, that is, removal of all self and environmental factors related to the occurrence of pancreatic cancer, is a fundamental measure to prevent the occurrence of and eliminate diseases. Its onset is closely related to lifestyle and is a “lifestyle cancer”. How to prevent pancreatic cancer in life:

1. Avoid eating high-fat, high-protein, and high-sugar foods in large quantities for a long time.

2. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. In your daily diet, you need to pay attention to maintaining the intake of grains, beans, sweet potatoes and other coarse grains. The vitamins and trace elements in them can resist free radicals and oxidation, and are beneficial to cancer prevention.

3. Keep eating regularly.

4. Quit smoking, avoid alcoholism, and promote tea drinking. Drinking tea in moderation can improve immune function and prevent cancer.

5. Take precautions during work and avoid exposure to harmful chemicals such as naphthylamine and aniline. Studies have shown that people who have been exposed to these chemicals for a long time have a risk of pancreatic cancer about 5 times higher than normal people.

6. Actively prevent and treat diseases related to pancreatic cancer, such as chronic pancreatitis, cholecystitis, gallbladder stones, diabetes, etc. It is necessary to know the prevention knowledge of pancreatic cancer, and it is recommended to have regular physical examinations.

7. Strengthen physical exercises, enhance physical fitness, avoid overweight and obesity, and maintain a good mood.

 

Secondary prevention: early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment

The 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer with a diameter of less than 50px is 20%-40%, and the 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer with a diameter of less than 25px is as high as 67%. Therefore, the “three early prevention” of pancreatic cancer is very important. To increase the detection rate of early pancreatic cancer, we must pay attention to the surveillance of high-risk groups, and we should be alert to the alarm symptoms of pancreatic cancer in clinical practice.

B-ultrasound is the first choice for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, and it can detect the abnormal state of the pancreas earlier.

 

Tertiary prevention: active treatment

The third level of prevention is mainly symptomatic treatment to prevent the deterioration of the disease, reduce the adverse effects of the disease, prevent recurrence and metastasis, and prevent complications and disability. For those who have lost the labor force, through rehabilitation treatment, promote their physical and mental recovery as soon as possible, so that they can restore the labor force, and preserve their ability to create spiritual value and social labor value.

The occurrence of pancreatic cancer is the result of multiple factors. Therefore, we can only minimize the risk of pancreatic cancer, but cannot completely avoid it! When pancreatic cancer occurs, patients don’t have to panic too much. As long as they receive standardized treatment in time and don’t “over-treatment”, pancreatic cancer patients can achieve 1, 3, 5 years, or even long-term “survival with tumors”!

Mr. Han, from Yucheng, Shandong Province, 64 years old. At the beginning of 2015, the body continued to experience symptoms of abdominal pain and bloating, accompanied by nausea and loss of appetite. He went to the hospital and was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer after CT examination.

I was hospitalized in a local hospital. After more than ten days, my condition did not improve. I was discharged to seek treatment with Chinese medicine. After taking Chinese medicine for more than 20 days in the county doctor, I gave up and found many hospitals for cancer treatment through the Internet. Contrast and screening, and finally find the Chinese Medicine Cancer Hospital. After looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, he analyzed Mr. Han’s condition and formulated a three-step rehabilitation plan for him, that is, the first step is to relieve pain and improve the quality of life. The second step is to kill and inhibit tumors and prolong life. The third step is to prevent metastasis and achieve long-term recovery.

After that, the patients were prescribed medicines with the therapy of activating blood circulation and dispelling stagnation. One month later, the jaundice disappeared and the appetite increased greatly. After three months, the abdominal pain disappeared completely. After taking the medicine for 5 and a half months, the effect is remarkable. Time flies. Four years passed in a blink of an eye. During this period, with intermittent medication, Han Zaisen completely recovered to a normal life.

Although pancreatic cancer is difficult to treat, it is still possible for patients to survive with the tumor as long as they choose the right medicine.
