A kind of cancer is found late! Just miss you three signals

There is a cancer known as the "king of cancer", once found out are basically late. Famous movie star "fat" Shen Dianxia, Apple's father Steve Jobs is it took away the life, it is - pancreatic cancer. At present, the incidence of pancreatic cancer in the world is nine hundred thousandths, the mortality rate can reach almost 99%!For many people, the pancreas may be a strange organ, but also we can not afford the most offended organs! Today to take everyone to know about it.

1 minute to understand the pancreas, an offending organ

The shape of the pancreas like a sweet potato, physique is relatively small (14-18cm long, wide 2-3cm), it is still "shy", hidden in the upper left part of the human body the deepest. Pancreas in front of the "stomach big brother" block, surrounded by "big sister" guarding. But you can not think that the pancreas is a mysterious Connaught difficult to serve as the Lord, it can serve as both digestion and metabolism, the ability to not be underestimated!

External secretion - digestive function: the pancreas is the second largest human digestive organs (second only to the liver), the secretion of pancreatic juice contains a lot of enzymes, in the process of digesting food as a "protagonist". So once the pain of the pancreas, the primary problem is indigestion, eat what pull Han.

Endocrine - metabolic function: the pancreas is also responsible for the secretion of insulin, to maintain human blood sugar stability. If the lack of insulin secretion, diabetes will follow, but also lead to cardiovascular and other diseases, the trouble will follow suit.

The emergence of these three signals, to guard against pancreatic cancer

① sudden unexplained indigestion, loss of appetite or weight loss.

② long-term left upper quadrant pain or low back pain, more obvious at night, not easy to ease.

③ jaundice, patients with corneal and skin yellow phenomenon.

Doctors recommend: when these symptoms inexplicable, can not explain, to consider the investigation of pancreatic cancer. Especially the above symptoms repeated, or even gradually increase the people to pay special attention. Early detection of early treatment, early pancreatic cancer and advanced pancreatic cancer prognosis is different.

Pancreatic cancer is not easy to be found early, just blame it too deep

1, the symptoms "not obvious", easy to mistakenly believe that stomach ...

In summary, the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer and some digestive diseases similar to easy with cholecystitis, hepatitis and other confused, nothing "outstanding performance." In addition, the pancreas hiding behind the stomach, easy to confuse our description of the pain part, so many people mistakenly believe that stomach problems.

2, location "secret", check to do wrong, easy "not found"

Because the location of the pancreas is "hidden", the B-ultrasound is often difficult to see if it is affected by intestinal gas. So we need to strengthen the abdominal CT or MRI can be diagnosed, routine plain is also easy to misdiagnosis. Enhanced CT refers to the intravenous injection of water-soluble iodine contrast agent after CT scan, increased serum iodine concentration, the lesion and adjacent normal tissue density difference between the increase, thereby increasing the lesion display rate. If the image shows a high possibility of malignant, then also need to puncture or surgery, get pathological findings in order to final diagnosis.

Protect the pancreas, the doctor gave 3 suggestions!

1, the annual physical examination can not fall!

Prevention of pancreatic cancer, the best way is to check regularly. The general population at least once a year to check once, high-risk population is best checked twice a year.

Pancreatic examination items: to the regular top three hospitals to check the abdomen B ultrasound; blood check CA199 / CEA / AKP / RGT; if necessary, do the abdominal CT or nuclear magnetic resonance.

2, "old stomach pain" also check the pancreas

Pancreas hiding behind the stomach, easy to confuse our description of the pain, if long-term feeling "stomach pain", but also need to promptly check the pancreas disease.

3, Hu eat hippie, smoking and drinking the most hurt the pancreas

Overeating, smoking and drinking will make the pancreas secretion of a large number of enzymes, excess enzyme accumulation in the pancreas, easily lead to chronic pancreatitis. Chronic pancreatitis itself is one of the risk factors for pancreatic cancer. Remember that it is not too late to quit smoking or not.

Are you a pancreas "candidate"?

① people over the age of 45, especially those with chronic pancreatitis, should be highly careful!

② when a period of time continued to rise in blood sugar (initial diabetes), this situation should be highly vigilant. Because the pancreas once the problem, will directly affect the normal function of endocrine, triggering high blood sugar. Of course, this situation must first rule out the family history and obesity, these two factors.

③ family history of pancreatic disease, that is, immediate family members such as parents or brothers and sisters, there are diseases of the pancreas.

④ some long-term large number of drinking, smoking and long-term exposure to chemical poisoning, but also be careful.

Doctor reminded

50% of patients with early pancreatic cancer can be treated surgically, with a 5-year survival rate of over 80%. It can be said that patients with malignant tumor treatment within 5 years after the recurrence is equivalent to recovery. Because if the malignant tumor cells have not been eliminated, after 5 years, should develop new cancer cell tissue. Of the patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, less than 20% were able to undergo surgery. The 5-year survival rate was less than 10%. Therefore, we are very focused on early diagnosis and early treatment of pancreatic cancer.
