Thoughts on the current situation of pancreatic cancer prevention and treatment / 中华胰腺病杂志

ABSTRACT

It is noticeable that the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer are growing every year worldwide. However, the effectiveness of prevention and control is not ideal. Considering that primary prevention of pancreatic cancer is difficult and the sensitivity and specificity of auxiliary examinations are low, the early diagnosis is still a difficult problem for the entire world. Current strategies for treatment are unsatisfactory, and making breakthrough is difficult in a short term. Based on the current status of pancreatic cancer prevention and treatment, it is necessary to strengthen basic research, explore its etiology and pathogenesis, eliminate the causes and cut off the approach of occurrence and development. To develop high-sensitivity and high-specificity detection methods such as peripheral blood and urine analysis, as well as imaging diagnostic technologies, can improve the early diagnosis rate and efficacy. Standardized multidisciplinary therapy, optimized combination of diagnosis and treatment methods, and personalized plans should be implemented to achieve the goal of improving curative effects for pancreatic cancer.
