Surgery is the only cure for pancreatic cancer. However, only regarding 20% of patients can undergo surgery to excise the cancerous part. Pancreatic cancer is difficult to diagnose at an early stage, so by the time the cancer is confirmed, it has already invaded other organs around it, making surgery impossible in many cases. Patients who have undergone surgery may have higher expectations of a full recovery. What will these patients eat and recover? It also helps prevent cancer.
Diabetes following pancreatic cancer surgery, why?
Patients who have undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer may develop diabetes because insulin secretion, which regulates blood sugar, is greatly reduced. Diabetes is a condition in which the blood sugar level in the blood is high and can cause various complications, so blood sugar must be controlled through insulin treatment (data from the National Cancer Information Center). Diabetes can also be used as a criterion for pancreatic cancer prevention. Pancreatic cancer can be suspected if diabetes suddenly appears in a healthy person or if the existing diabetes symptoms worsen and blood sugar control is difficult.
I can’t digest it, it’s painful… Soft, high-calorie foods little by little often
Since the pancreas secretes digestive juices, cancer can interfere with digestion. Poor digestion can lead to loss of appetite and post-treatment side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and wounds in the mouth, which can make it difficult to eat. In this case, the health condition of the patient deteriorates and the treatment effect decreases. Not only the medical team, but also the patient himself and his family should carefully monitor weight changes and signs of dehydration. For digestion, it is good to reduce the intake of fat and eat soft, high-calorie foods little by little.
Eat to live… There is no special food that cures cancer
Nutritional status also has a great impact on cancer cure. Eating well and maintaining good nutrition can reduce the risk of infection and quickly regenerate cells damaged by chemotherapy. There is no special food or nutrient that cures cancer. It is important to eat a variety of foods in a balanced way. Some patients pay attention only to certain foods or nutrients that are good for the body, and often neglect intake of appropriate calories and essential nutrients. You need to consume a variety of nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals that provide energy to the body.
High calorie-high protein food… Increases the effectiveness of treatment and contributes to recovery
Patients should eat three meals a day, but at each meal, they should eat enough protein foods such as meat, fish, eggs, tofu, and beans. This is because high-calorie and high-protein foods increase the effectiveness of treatment and contribute to rapid recovery. If it is indigestible and difficult to chew or swallow, boil and mince or grind the meat. You should also eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, milk and dairy products. If milk is not suitable, eat yogurt, soy milk, or cheese instead. If you find it difficult to eat food and have a weakened immune system, you should seek nutrition counseling.
What are the symptoms of pancreatic cancer? Abdominal pain, digestive problems, weight loss, jaundice
Pancreatic cancer has no symptoms in its early stages, making early diagnosis difficult. Pancreatic cancer is found in 40 to 70 percent of people with symptoms such as abdominal pain, digestive problems, weight loss, and jaundice, but these are quite advanced cases. Diabetes can occur suddenly or exacerbate existing diabetes. Pancreatitis symptoms are also seen. Smoking is a strong risk factor. People who enjoy high-fat meals or have a family history should be conscious of pancreatic cancer and consult with a pancreatic cancer doctor at the gastroenterology department of a hospital.
