Marek Balawajder: Why pancreatic cancer is considered one of the most difficult to treat?

Professor John Kulig: for many reasons. First of all, it is a very bad predictive of cancer, where cases of survival five years does not exceed 5 percent.

How long, on average, live patient after diagnosis of pancreatic cancer

The prognosis depends primarily on the symptoms that the cancer causes. He often creeps up secretly, diagnosis tend to be placed quite late, and when the patient goes to the surgeon, it is often too late for surgery.

This cancer has no symptoms?

Symptoms gives this cancer, which is located in the head of the pancreas, in the area okołobrodawkowej. One of the symptoms is jaundice – a fairly early symptom that can effectively cure. I look from the perspective of 6000 patients operatively treated in the clinic and patients over the last fifteen years, we cut almost 1,700 pancreas.

“This is a personal tragedy for us because were friends not just us, but also our families. know her husband, kids. Ania always remain in our hearts as a person radiant “- speaks of the deceased Annie Przybylska actor Cezary Claw. “Anyone who has worked with Anna will say the same thing – as he walked … read more

So you can cut the pancreas

You can, if the cancer is in the head of the pancreas, can quickly jaundice, or as if he is diagnosed early.

In most cases, it gives a very uncharacteristic symptoms, unusual, especially pain, also weight loss.

That’s why we say that pancreatic cancer is a cancer that is literally a few percent is the chance of surviving more than a year?

First of all, just from this it follows that the symptoms are late and then appear when the cancer is already metastatic, metastatic – distant or neighboring organs when radical treatment is no longer possible.

The disease can develop for many months or even years?

I think even years. Unfortunately, the majority of patients the cancer is localized to those parts of the pancreas that does not result in any symptoms, ie. those that the patient feels – as is the case in the majority of cancers. But when the symptoms come, it is already busy core of the pancreas tail retroperitoneal space adjacent organs.

Excision then there is not much to give

Then notch it is only palliative – if at all possible. Cancer has spread and the surgeon from having – even if it decides to excising the pancreas – leaves residues of cancer that are resistant to currently known chemotherapy treatment.

In addition, the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer is technically very difficult surgery, is one of the largest surgical procedures.

But is an ultrasound of that constantly urge that in good hands allows for earlier detection, which gives the patient a chance of survival.

So the first step is an ultrasound?

Ultrasound, because if we find a patient who has already metastasized to the lymph nodes, infiltrating vessels in the retroperitoneal space, the surgeon is basically helpless – can extend the life, the period of asymptomatic disease, while the chance of cure is – as I said – depends on location .

And that is a few percent.

is only a few percent.

Just do an ultrasound to make sure what’s wrong with me, if something is not right when it comes to pancreas

can not be sure, but suspect. Then there are other tests – X-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging – which will deepen and accelerate the diagnostic detection.

So such prophylaxis, ultrasound – as often?

aggravating factors, which require screening tests often do, occur in risk groups: the elderly, where the family was pancreatic cancer, every suspected case of jaundice, each vague upper abdominal pain, history of chronic pancreatitis, alcoholic interview. It starts with ultrasound, by CT and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy – ed. Eds.). At the same time – like stress – has to do a good ultrasonography or physician familiar with the ultrasound, which will be able to recognize it, because it can be a disaster.

And why ultrasound? Because this tool is available at any health unit in Poland – from rural resort to more specialized quasi-clinical or provincial hospitals. And those tests, which will settle eventually, a biopsy, magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, are now less accessible.
