Pancreatic Disease Treatment
Pancreatic diseases, including pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, require varied approaches depending on the condition. Acute pancreatitis, often caused by gallstones or alcohol use, is treated through hospitalization with fasting to rest the pancreas, IV fluids, and pain management. Chronic pancreatitis may require enzyme supplements to aid digestion and a low-fat diet to prevent further flare-ups. In cases of severe pancreatitis, surgery might be necessary to drain fluid collections or remove damaged tissue.
For pancreatic cancer, treatment options depend on the stage and location of the cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are standard treatment approaches, often used in combination to target the cancer. In cases where surgery isn’t an option, palliative care may focus on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life, with treatments aimed at pain management and nutritional support.
