Prevention of pancreatic cancer focuses on screening, and high-risk groups need to be vigilant!
Although the direct cause of pancreatic cancer has not yet been found, some high-risk factors have been clearly related to pancreatic cancer. Two major categories of high-risk factors are summarized:
One is pathological factors such as smoking, poor diet, diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, and non-genetic factors such as easy exposure to high-risk carcinogens in work or life;
The second is genetic factors caused by family history of pancreatic cancer. In clinical practice, 10% to 20% of patients are caused by inheritance from direct relatives.
There are also high-risk groups for pancreatic cancer, especially the following types of people should pay attention, and they are most likely to be targeted by pancreatic cancer:
Elderly people: Clinical data show that the older the age, 胰臟癌the higher the incidence of pancreatic cancer.
People with a family history of disease: Especially those with direct relatives suffering from pancreatic cancer, the risk of disease in their offspring will also increase.
Long-term history of smoking and drinking: Tobacco and alcohol are high-risk factors for various cancers, and pancreatic cancer is no exception.
Occupational exposure: Long-term exposure to harmful or carcinogenic chemicals in work and life can also easily lead to the occurrence of pancreatic cancer.
People with chronic diseases such as chronic pancreatitis: Chronic pancreatitis also has the risk of canceration as the disease progresses.
Therefore, early screening must be done to prevent pancreatic cancer, especially for high-risk groups. Currently, CT nuclear magnetic resonance is the main screening method for pancreatic cancer. Through thin-layer, enhanced, and multi-phase CT scans, suspicious symptoms can be detected in time at an early stage to block the trend of malignant transformation.
Generally speaking, 45 to 50 years old is the critical period for pancreatic cancer screening, especially for high-risk groups. Screening should even be carried out 10 years in advance. If there is rapid weight loss and unexplained pain in a short period of time, after excluding other diseases, the possibility of pancreatic cancer should be promptly checked.
In addition to regular screening, the improvement of daily living habits is also very important. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, control the intake of red meat while increasing food diversity, and maintain moderate exercise and enhance immunity to stay away from the invasion of pancreatic cancer.
