Analysis of the difference between pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis

Dietary adjustment is very important for patients with pancreatic cancer. Combining dietary adjustment with comprehensive treatment of clinical programs has a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on the radical cure of pancreatic cancer. Specific precautions are as follows:

With the recent improvement in living standards and changes in dietary structure, the incidence of pancreatic cancer has increased significantly. Pancreatic cancer is a relatively serious malignant tumor, and patients with pancreatitis are also very likely to develop pancreatic cancer. Only by understanding the difference between pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer can we achieve the effects of early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment.

Pancreatitis is a disease caused by the pancreas's self-digestion by trypsin. The pancreas is swollen, congested, or hemorrhagic and necrotic. Clinically, symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Blood and urine amylase levels are elevated. It can be divided into acute and chronic types.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant digestive tract tumor, known as the "king of cancers". People often talk about it with fear. With the change of people's dietary structure, the incidence of pancreatic cancer has also increased year by year. In recent years, the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic tumors have been greatly improved. The early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer can reach the level of discovering tumors with a diameter of about 1 cm.

The key difference between pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis is that chronic pancreatitis is a disease of chronic progressive destruction of the pancreas caused by repeated attacks of acute pancreatitis. The pancreas has two functions, endocrine and exocrine, and both endocrine and exocrine cells can become cancerous. Cancer from exocrine cells is what we often call pancreatic cancer, which is a tumor with a relatively high degree of malignancy.
