Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis is done by recognizing the symptoms of the patient. Usually the symptoms that arise from the patient will we know. In addition, there are also checks droplets from the nose to the lab.

Before discussing pancreatic cancer, you need to know what organ is the pancreas. The pancreas is an organ shaped like a sponge tube / sponge with kirakira six inches long located behind the stomach. The pancreas produces enzymes and hormones, including insulin.

Pancreatic enzymes help digest food in the small intestine, whereas insulin to control blood sugar levels. Both enzymes and hormones necessary to maintain the body in order to work properly. The most frightening disorders that occur in this organ is a cancer of the pancreas.

Pancreatic cancer occurs when malignant cells (malignant) grow, develop, and spread in pancreatic tissue. Pancreatic cancer is known as the silent disease because in the early stages of this disease have almost no symptoms. However, if cancer cells have flourished and spread, the pain usually will occur in the upper abdomen and sometimes spreads to the back. Other symptoms include sudden weight loss, depression, and decreased appetite.

Although the exact causes of pancreatic cancer is unknown, but smoking is a major risk factor. Smokers have 2-3 times the risk of higher pancreatic cancer than nonsmokers. Age also affects the existence of this disease, pancreatic cancer usually tend to occur at the age above 45 years.
Other risk factors include diabetes, pancreatitis, and cirrhosis of the liver. There was also missed a family history of the disease also has a role. Pancreatic cancer can be very fierce indeed. Many sufferers die within a year after diagnosis. Only a few, less than 4 percent that will survive five years after diagnosis.

No wonder when the National Cancer Institute says pancreatic cancer is rarely curable. If the cancer is still in the pancreas (localized), the level of recovery would be greater. Even so, this is usually a good hope in all cases only slightly, less than 20 percent.

For patients with cancer who are still measuring less than 2 cm, with no spread to lymph nodes, surgical removal of cancer patients could save at least five years. This possibility could reach 18-24 percent.

Cancer treatment, depending on a number of factors, such as cancer type, size and spread of cancer is also the overall condition of the patient and his age. Therefore, each patient can not be treated the same. Although somewhat difficult to cure, doctors still will try as hard as possible to care for patients in order to increase the quality of life, such as by surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Usually treatment for pancreatic cancer is very unusual that the body affects the cancer cells die. Therefore, the doctor will give another drug as a combination. Treatment will give the effect of nausea, flushed skin, hair loss, loss of appetite, weakness, and decreased weight.

Intake of nutritious food is needed at the time of healing. Treatment that serves to replace the insulin the pancreas is also necessary because as the plant is disturbed insulin function. Then, how to prevent this deadly cancer? Of course the only way is to avoid factors that cause and factors of this disease.

In addition to regulate the diet, people with diabetes also should be diligent in exercising. Because, exercise helps the body to absorb the maximum sugar circulating in the body. But, doesn’t exercise also trigger excretion of sweat that quickly makes you thirsty? Especially when fasting, can people with diabetes exercise?

“Do not always identify exercise with excessive sweat, especially for people with diabetes,” said Dr. Michael Triangto, SpOK, sports medicine specialist from Slim + Health Sports Therapy.

Thus, exercise that is suitable is not aerobic and aerobic gymnastics. Because aerobic exercise has a movement repeatedly with a short time, it is more difficult. As a result, people with diabetes will easily lose breath and accelerate decline in blood.

Then, what kind of exercise is aerobics? Michael mentions, brisk walking or biking can be a relaxing choice. But, before doing the exercise, Michael reminded to see if there are other diseases that accompany diabetes.  One could have done a good exercise for diabetes, but not for other disease.

That’s why before exercising it s should first be defined what purpose and for what goals to be achieved is to stay healthy during fasting and after fasting, it must be done according to the health value. Parameters for this, he said, is the measurement of heart rate with the formula 220 minus age in years. The results of the formula is 100% of heart rate and for people with diabetes, the limit is 50-70% of maximum heart rate.

For example, people with diabetes aged 30 years, so maximum is 190 beats per minute. Thus, heart rate limits when walking or cycling is a leisurely 80-133 per minute. That means, he explains, is less than 80 means the exercises done is less helpful, but if it is more than 133, it could be dangerous.

When talking about the benefits, exercise which is done regularly and for long periods can help the muscles to absorb sugar, or glucose that circulate in the body. Therefore, people with diabetes is difficult to absorb sugar, it takes a higher insulin to absorb the glucose.

“And with the muscles that are aerobic,  the body has a better sensitivity of glucose”. As a result, blood sugar levels can be more stable and for people with early diabetes, regular exercise can help them break away from medicine addiction.

Diabetes clearly increases the risk of one of various cardiovascular disorders, including heart attacks, hypertension, or stroke. To reduce the risk of heart disease, doctors will usually give medicine to restore the abnormal levels of blood fats.

Unfortunately, recent studies show medicine therapy to control blood pressure and lower blood sugar does not help prevent cardiovascular disease. In fact, medicine therapy in some cases cause side effects.

A decade ago, health officials in the United States conducted three studies to see whether the three types of intensive therapy to lower blood sugar, blood pressure or blood fats are effective for preventing heart attacks and strokes in diabetics (diabetes).

A study of the blood sugar was stopped two years ago when researchers look at blood sugar control treatment was not much effect. However, two studies are in progress.

In studies of blood fats (triglycerides) which is done by researchers from Columbia University and involving 5500 people with diabetes who also have the risk factors of other heart disease, namely hypertension and high cholesterol.

All the respondents received statins, cholesterol-lowering medication. Half of the respondents have triglyceride-lowering medicines and the rest a dummy medicine. Five years later the entire group of respondents known to have the same incidence of stroke and heart attack. This means that medicine therapy does not help much.

From the results of research, proven therapies that incentives by medicine-oatan is not able to reduce the incidence of heart attacks, although it is able to prevent a stroke. However, experts do not recommend people with diabetes to stop taking the medication without consulting their doctors.

So what should people with diabetes do? Stay focused on diet and healthy lifestyle and keep trying medications doctors recommended to reduce the risk of disease, according to Dr.Clyde Yancy, a cardiologist and president of the American Heart Association.

For people with diabetes,  they are advised to eat a varied diet in order to achieve a balance between carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Some have diabetes can control their blood sugar by eating only three meals a day and avoid sweet foods. While the rest need a strict diet.

To reduce the risk of heart disease, do the exercise because it increases blood flow through blood vessels smaller and increase the efficiency of heart pumping power.
