       The etiology of pancreatic cancer has not yet entirely clear. Some have been found related to pancreatic cancer and environmental factors, including the establishment of the risk factors for smoking, smokers relative risk of non-smokers to 1.5 times. Moreover, with the increased number of smoking. Other risk factors are diabetes, cholelithiasis, drinking, as well as chronic pancreatitis. Dietary fat and protein intake too much, endocrine and metabolic disorders and genetic factors related to gastrectomy 20, and they are also factors in pancreatic cancer

       Exocrine pancreatic adenocarcinoma of the offal in common malignant tumor in the second place, the United States is the cause of cancer death in the fifth, accounting for gastrointestinal cancer deaths 1 / 5. Because the pancreas in the peritoneum, so it is difficult to get early treatment, however, recent medical advances have led to the diagnosis of refractory and treatment still have a lot of influence.

     The latest research found that, despite the epidemiological studies do not support drinking is the cause of pancreatic cancer, but alcohol can lead to increased risk of pancreatic cancer incidence.
     Sweden Kaluolinshika Institute W Ye and colleagues for the years 1965-1994 Alcoholism (178,688 cases), chronic alcoholic pancreatitis (3,500 cases), chronic non-alcoholic pancreatitis (4,952 cases), alcoholic Cirrhosis (13,553 cases) and non-alcoholic cirrhosis (7,057 cases) of the patients risk of pancreatic cancer were analyzed.
     The results showed that drinking only to the risk of pancreatic cancer increased by 40% (SIR: 1.4,95% confidence interval (CI) :1.2-1 .5). Smokers who drink more alcohol may confuse the true SIR, to reach about 1.4. Chronic alcoholic pancreatitis patients SIR (2.2,95% CI :0.9-4 .5) was significantly lower than that in patients with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis (8.7,95% CI :6.8-10 .9); two groups of patients with follow-up time of SIR extend lower, suggesting that tumor confirmed the cause of its impact on the increase.
     The researchers said that patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis risk of pancreatic cancer also moderately increased (SIR: 1.9,95% CI :1.3-2 .8), in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis rather than the risk of not increased significantly (SIR: 1.2 , 95% CI :0.6-2 .2).
     Dr. Ye, drinkers in the risk of pancreatic cancer, there may be increased slightly.

     Female intake of bread, white rice and potatoes more likely to suffer from a greater risk of pancreatic cancer, especially in overweight and physical exercise limited circumstances. The conclusions published in this week’s “American Institute for Cancer Research Series” (Journal of the National Cancer Institute), the “junk food” increase the risk of certain types of cancer evidence.
     United States 30,000 people a year die from pancreatic cancer, the disease previously only known risk factor is smoking. Responsible for the study, Harvard School of Public Health and Women’s Hospital Fuaishi Bulaihan (Charles Fuchs) said in a statement that “the use of less starch vegetables such as potatoes and cabbage instead of rice, eat fruits, which are reduced a simple method potentially dangerous. ”
     He and his colleagues used the nurses health study of the data and found that consumption of white bread and potatoes, and so more women with increased risk of pancreatic cancer by 57 percent, just on the edge of statistical significance, and too heavy or do not love sports. ” its 2.5-fold higher risk, “Fuaishi said in a telephone interview. “Our assumption is that all of these - obesity, sit-ins inactive lifestyle, high-sugar diet - increased insulin levels” and create insulin is a major function of the pancreas. “In the laboratory, insulin promoted the growth of pancreatic cancer cells. We speculate the body maintain a high level of insulin increased pancreatic cancer cell survival and growth of capacity.”
     The researchers now think that there are three kinds of diet and lifestyle may be caused by cancer - the most obvious cause of lung cancer is smoking, high fat diet may be red meat and colon and breast cancer. Advocated by the United States Tumor Institute and the entire Valley of fruits and vegetables to prevent cancer food, and of course the full campaign. Particularly deadly pancreatic cancer, 95% of patients died within five years. It is more difficult to study, because 80% of the patients are diagnosed at advanced stages. “

     The results of recent studies have suggested that certain special or general food

containing a series of anti-cancer substances with anti-cancer substances.
     As early as the 1970s, American scientists have discovered Watebage are vegetables such

as cabbage cabbage, cabbage contained stem isothiocyanate esters has strong anti-cancer

activity. Pittsburgh Serfaty, a dentist and Dr. A. Lutz found asparagus on various cancer

have an excellent effect in the world to set off a so-called “Asparagus therapy” craze.

These types of cancer inhibitor-containing food is not the only food, a number of other

compounds in food, such as garlic and onions organic sulfides, citrus fruit of flavonoids,

the tea polyphenols in tea are chemical substances, such as stronger anti-cancer, anti-

cancer effect. These types of substances, people do not put them as nutrients, the lack of

these substances may not be in lack of nutrition. Scholars such chemical substances known as

blocking agents or chemical plants. But it is precisely this material plays an excellent

anti-cancer, anti-cancer effect.
     In fact, we are no strangers to these substances. Since ancient times in China,

“Medicinal and Edible” traditional diet. Many edible plants can be both medicine. China’s

huge accumulation of a large number of pharmacy treasure house of knowledge in this field.

For example, ginseng, licorice, Astragalus, lotus seeds, Galangal, Chinese wolfberry, Mrs

swelling, lily, orange peels, Angelica and the food has strong anti-cancer, blood fat,

cholesterol-lowering and blood pressure-lowering effect.
     Currently scientists understand the role of anti-cancer foods vast majority of

vegetables and fruit as well as some drug Edible plants. Has been found to prevent cancer in

various forms of fruits and vegetables are more than 60 kinds. Japan’s anti-cancer effect of

food a more in-depth studies, an emerging discipline - Anti-Cancer Japan is the rise of

fruits and vegetables.
     Recently, the United States National Cancer Institute trip through the valley of

investigation, animal experiments and double-blind law strictly observe the human

experimental stage, recognized the following eight kinds of food with anti-cancer role:
① tomatoes: anti-cancer substances containing lycopene, can eliminate oxygen free radicals,

the role of prostate cancer prevention.
② dark green vegetables include: celery, cabbage and coriander Wando. The deeper the color,

the stronger the anti-cancer ability.
③ cruciferous vegetables include: cabbage, cauliflower, radish and mustard, preferably raw

vegetables such.
④ soybean products: soybean contain at least five kinds of anti-cancer substances above in

order to contain the growth and spread of cancer cells and effective.
⑤ citrus fruits: pancreatic cancer with good preventive role.
⑥ malt and cereals: can effectively prevent the occurrence of rectal cancer and colon

cancer.
⑦ onions, garlic, ginger: colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, the incidence of

lung cancer has some effect.
⑧ yogurt: intestinal cancer preventive role.
     In addition, the inclusion of anti-cancer foods are recipes: sweet potato, tuna,

papaya, etc..

        Pancreatitis is the pancreatic tissue by inflammatory lesions. Pancreatic edema,

hyperemia, or hemorrhage and necrosis. Clinical abdominal pain, abdominal distention,

nausea, vomiting, fever and other symptoms. Testing blood and urine, such as elevated

amylase. Can be divided into pure pancreatitis edema and hemorrhage necrotizing pancreatitis

two types. The latter a precarious condition, complications, mortality is high.
        Is the second largest human pancreatic digestive gland, is the strongest role of the

organs of digestion. Secretion of pancreatic juice it is the most important human digestive

juice. Under normal circumstances, the pancreatic juice in the glandular tissue of its

activities that do not contain a trypsin activity of the original. Secretin pancreas

pipeline along the common bile duct constant inflow of sphincter of Oddi duodenum, bile

exist within the duodenum, the duodenal mucosa to secrete a gut kinase, in the role of the

two, trypsin into the starting strong activity of digestive enzymes. If the outflow tract is

obstructed, impeded excretion can cause pancreatitis.

        Under normal circumstances, the common bile duct and bile duct Although inflows have

been a channel duodenum, but because of the pressure higher than the pancreatic duct, the

pressure will not be anti-bile into the pancreatic duct. Only when the sphincter of Oddi

spasm or increased pressure within the duct, such as stones, tumors obstruction, bile and

pancreatic duct will be entered into the anti-pancreatic tissue, and this time, bile

contained in the lecithin was pancreatic juice contained eggs phospholipase A decomposition

of lysophosphatidylcholine, can produce toxic effects on the pancreas. Or biliary tract

infection, the bacteria release will be trypsin kinase activation, the same can be turned

into pancreatic tissue damage and the activity of dissolved substances. These substances

will be contained in the pancreatic juice into the trypsin trypsin, the digestive enzyme

activity strong, and infiltration into the pancreatic tissue from their own digestion, can

also cause pancreatitis.

Maintaining a good mental state, the confidence in conquering disease, taken optimistic attitude towards life, is the psychological rehabilitation stage pancreatic cancer patients Recuperation the key. Spirit factor in the occurrence and treatment of disease, play a great role, especially for cancer. We often see many cases of advanced cancer, as a vigorous and strong will to live, with appropriate treatment, have been alleviated or even cured accident. Do not use denying the fact that pancreatic cancer is a poor prognosis of cancer, a serious threat to human health and disease and in improving the understanding of the treatment process, it should coordinate closely with hospital treatment, to be cured. In the course of treatment, cultivating hope, love, courage, patience, trust, and other good feelings, active life, and to participate in rehabilitation groups and their organization’s activities and exchanges between patients, care for and help others, when you get the value of life more embodiment, your confidence will be enhanced. When the disease appeared in the course of treatment repeatedly, you will face bravely, without fear that their every day is beautiful.

Pancreatic cancer patients from diagnosis to treatment, mental, psychological, physical are hit hard, in such circumstances, the attention it is particularly important to self-health care. As far as possible, to maintain the daily life of the laws, and regularly get up, eat and activities, avoid negative pessimistic, a day bed-ridden. Appropriately increase outdoor activities. Emotional stability, or do not encounter unpleasant satisfactory, should keep a cool head and avoid hasty or fury. Catering to the tastes of the patient’s choice, nutritious and less irritation, low fat diet, and eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. To avoid, overeating, alcohol and high-fat, spicy stimulate diet. The rehabilitation period should be used for Chinese medicine treatment, and the elimination of Air Yangxue and take the power play going, and with other therapies with applications, increase treatment efficacy. The pancreatic cancer patients, regular inspection is very important. Periodic inspection is the main items Cr abdominal ultrasound examination or understand whether local recurrence and metastasis lesions. If ultrasound found suspicious lesions, nature is not clear, further CT or MRI. Other wellness checks, such as blood, biochemical screening and fecal occult blood test, must also regularly checked.

     Amsterdam, the Netherlands Dr. Tascilar M University pointed out that although the trip gastrectomy in patients with gastric surgery and no patients will likely there are some of the pancreatic cancer-induced factors, but gastrectomy for itself some of the factors related to the incidence of pancreatic cancer has accelerated the process.
     The researchers selected 2,633 cases accepted gastrectomy surgery patients cohort study of pancreatic cancer gene mutation common K-ras gene codon 12 molecular analysis to investigate the incidence of pancreatic cancer relative risk.
     The results showed that in gastric surgery 5-59 in the overall risk of pancreatic cancer increased to 1.8 (95% confidence limits ranging from 1.3 to 2.6), 35 gradually increased to 3.6 above (chi-square test, P <0.05). Multivariable analysis showed that post-operative period is not affected by factors other than pancreatic cancer are dangerous. In addition, the risk of lung cancer significantly increased after surgery, but no time trend. K-ras gene codon 12 mutations spectrum and the general population similar to pancreatic cancer.
      Dr. Tascilar, gastrectomy and increase the risk of pancreatic cancer associated gastric resection itself some of the factors related to the incidence of pancreatic cancer has accelerated the process.

     With improved living standards, the incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing year by year trends. However, no specific symptoms of pancreatic cancer. The first symptom vulnerable and gastrointestinal, liver and biliary diseases such as confused. The first symptom surgical resection on the trip to about 50 percent, unfortunately is the first symptom is often overlooked by doctors or patients delay in diagnosis.
     The abdominal pain or upper abdominal discomfort is the first symptom of pancreatic cancer. Yet patients often went by medical or other treatment. Therefore, the vast majority of patients to surgical treatment, the condition is advanced. When pancreatic cancer invasion plexus or chronic pancreatitis, severe abdominal pain, endless night when when pancreatic cancer invasion or oppression in the common bile duct jaundice, stomach or duodenal invasion, nausea, vomiting or hematemesis, when black fecal , in patients with pancreatic cancer surgical resection rate was only about 15%, the survival rate after five years is only 10 percent. So a recent conference of the International Academic Conference of the pancreas to strengthen the vigilance of early pancreatic and monitoring high-risk groups. Because of the abdominal pain, jaundice, abdominal on the fitness, digestive discomfort, suffering from weight loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or unexpected treatment of diabetic patients and other reasons, should take into account the possibility of pancreatic cancer. And the age greater than 40 years of age, are non-specific symptoms of upper abdominal; family history of pancreatic cancer; sudden diabetes, particularly those in atypical diabetes, the lack of family history, no obesity, insulin insurgents quickly formed; chronic pancreatitis, in particular familial chronic pancreatitis and chronic patients with calcification of the pancreas to strengthen monitoring.
     Surgical resection is the treatment of pancreatic cancer under present conditions under the conditions of treatment of the most effective means of pancreatic cancer. Ultrasound and CT can check out the pancreatic cancer is less than 2 cm, endoscopic ultrasound can detect even a little less than one centimeter of pancreatic cancer. The tumor is less than 2 centimeters of small pancreatic cancer surgical resection rate was about 90 percent, the survival rate after five years up to 80%. So your treatment of pancreatic cancer in the early diagnosis and early detection.

The latest study found that, although epidemiological studies do not support drinking is the cause of pancreatic cancer, but alcohol abuse can lead to increased risk of pancreatic cancer incidence.
Sweden Research Institute, Dr W Ye and his colleagues on the 1965-1994 years because alcoholism (178,688 cases), chronic alcoholic pancreatitis (3,500 cases), chronic non-alcoholic pancreatitis (4,952 cases), alcoholic cirrhosis (13,553 cases) and non-alcoholic cirrhosis (7,057 cases) of patients risk of pancreatic cancer were analyzed.

The results showed that drinking only to the risk of pancreatic cancer increased 40% (SIR: 1.4,95% confidence interval (CI) :1.2-1 .5). Drinkers in more smokers, drinkers might confuse the true SIR to reach approximately 1.4. Patients with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis the SIR (2.2,95% CI :0.9-4 .5) was significantly lower than that in patients with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis (8.7,95% CI :6.8-10 .9); two groups of patients with follow-up time of SIR extended decreased, suggesting that tumor confirmed the cause of its impact on the increase.

The researchers pointed out that patients with alcoholic cirrhosis risk of pancreatic cancer also moderately increased (SIR: 1.9,95% CI :1.3-2 .8), rather than in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis of the danger of increased significantly (SIR: 1.2 , 95% CI :0.6-2 .2).

Dr. Ye, a non-drinker to the risk of pancreatic cancer occurred, there may be mildly higher.
