Abstract:
Pancreatic cancer ranks 10
th in the incidence rate of malignant tumors in men and 12
th in women, and is the 6
th leading cause of tumor-related deaths in China. It is a devastating malignancy with a poor prognosis. Inspired by the concept of “integrated medicine,” the China Anti-Cancer Association Committee of Pancreatic Cancer has organized the efforts of relevant experts to complete these guidelines for the integrative and comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation management of pancreatic cancer based on the principles of “Preventing, Screening, Diagnosing, Treating, and Rehabilitating.” We hope that these guidelines will constitute an effective reference for clinicians in achieving the best treatment outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer in China.
