Pay attention to 6 common symptoms and avoid 4 things to stay away from “cancer king”

In addition, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine had a case of a brand new treatment in 2018. The patient was Lana Brandt, whose family had a history of pancreatic cancer. After experiencing several episodes of pancreatitis, she learned that she carried a gene that increased her risk of pancreatic cancer. Therefore, in order to prevent pancreatic cancer, doctors used minimally invasive technology to remove her pancreas and spleen. Doctors isolated her islet cells and re-implanted them into her liver to continue producing insulin. After the operation, she did not need to inject insulin.

For pancreatic cancer at stage three or above, direct surgery is not possible, but some patients can use the “three-way treatment”, which is to shrink the tumor cells through radiotherapy and chemotherapy, reducing it from stage three to stage two, and then undergo surgery to remove the tumor. After the surgery, continue with radiotherapy and chemotherapy to eliminate residual tumor cells.

Jing Tong said that there was a 45-year-old patient, Ms. Liu, who was close to the third stage when the disease was discovered. After using the three-wen treatment method, she is still alive 8 years later. There was also a male patient in his 50s, whose tumor had already metastasized to the liver when it was discovered. It was a fourth-stage tumor. Fortunately, he had only one metastatic lesion in the liver. After chemotherapy and radiotherapy, he underwent surgery to remove most of the pancreas and part of the liver, clearing the tumor visible to the naked eye. After the operation, he continued to receive chemotherapy and radiotherapy to remove the tumor cells that were invisible to the naked eye. Now, 5 years have passed, and the patient is still alive and has a good quality of life.
