Abstract:
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of endoscopy for palliative treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. Methods A typical case of un-resectable advanced pancreatic cancer was reviewed, who underwent obstruction of upper gastrointestinal tract, obstructive jaundice and alimentary tract hemorrhage subsequently. The patient received multiple placement of intestinal tract stents, common bile duct stents and hemostatic treatment endoscopically. Because of the obstruction of upper gastrointestinal tract, jejunalostomy and retrograde endoscopy through the orificium fistulae were performed to place bile duct stents. Results The patient survived for 10 months with good life quality after diagnosis, obstruction of upper gastrointestinal tract, obstructive jaundice and alimentary tract hemorrhage were cured and didn't recur till death.Conclusion Therapeutic endoscopy, safe and effective, is the first choice for advanced pancreatic cancer complicated with obstruction of digestive tract (including gastrointestinal tract, bile duct and pancreatic duct).
