How long can a pancreatic cancer patient usually live

Pancreatic cancer is a relatively serious malignant tumor because the patient's survival period is shorter than that of other cancers and its survival time is affected by many factors.

The early or late detection of the disease can directly affect the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients. The earlier the pancreatic cancer is detected, the better the prognosis will be. Of course, this is related to the treatment methods adopted by the patient, the patient's own physical fitness and the patient's psychological quality.

If pancreatic cancer patients can undergo surgical treatment, they should try to undergo surgical treatment, because the five-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer patients after surgical treatment is generally 3%~25%, but occasionally some patients can obtain longer survival because the lesions are small and there is no metastasis.

At the same time, pancreatic cancer patients should improve their physical fitness. Good physical fitness provides patients with sufficient energy to fight the disease. Pancreatic cancer patients should pay attention to the supplementation of nutrients, eat a balanced diet, not be picky eaters, pay attention to the supplementation of vitamins, proteins, etc., and usually carry out appropriate activities to keep the body functions in an active state, which can also increase the survival time of pancreatic cancer patients.

After learning about their condition, patients should actively seek treatment and maintain an optimistic attitude, not being too pessimistic. A good mentality can greatly promote the treatment of pancreatic cancer, while a pessimistic and negative attitude is not conducive to the treatment of the disease. This is also an important factor affecting the survival time of pancreatic cancer patients.
