Besides, the cancerous cells affect the endocrine system and thus inhibiting the body’s ability to regulate glucose. Pancreatic cancer exists in various types which may include: ductal adenocarcinoma, acinar cell carcinomas, lymphoma, cystic tumors and the neuroendocrine tumors. This cancer is a form of malignant tumor that spreads to other tissues and organs in the body and thus different from the benignant tumors (Consumer and Patient Health Information Section CAPHIS, 201).
Radiation therapy offers a quality platform on which high-energy x-rays or similar particles can be directed to the cancerous cells in order to obliterate them. The most common radiation therapy used by radiologists across the globe is the external-beam radiation therapy which refers to the radiation that gets issued using a machine outside the body. The radiotherapy regimen is often constituted by a specified number of treatments that gets delivered over a given period (Souchek, 2013). The amount of treatments is discussed in a schedule between the patient and their …show more content…
The therapy engages a process in which the specified genes, tissues or the protein component of the cancer cells gets targeted. The process blocks the spread and growth of the cancerous cells and thus limits the damage that such cells can cause to the healthy cells (Souchek, 2013).
Chemo radiation therapy can also offer a practicable mechanism through which the cancerous cells can get eliminated from the pancreas. The process involves a combination of radiation and chemotherapy in order to amplify the efficacy of both techniques of cancer control methods (McGinn & Haylock, 1993).
Additionally, biologic therapy can be used to reduce or eliminate the cancerous cells that may be present in the pancreas. In such a technique, the immune system of the patient under treatment gets used to fighting the cancerous cells. Various substances, which are made in the laboratory or naturally in the body can be used to, restore, boost or even direct the patient’s natural body defense systems against the cancerous cells (Souchek, 2013).
The chance of developing pancreatic cancer can get reduced using the various set of lifestyle techniques that can get adopted by males across the world. Making of healthy choices in life offers a quality platform on which the disease can get
