Pancreatic cancer is one of the most fatal malignancies. Palliative care represents an important aspect of management in patients with pancreatic malignancy. Identifying and treating disease related symptoms are very important. As a physician taking care of these patients it is essential to know these symptoms and treatment modalities. Common problems include biliary obstruction, anticoagulation, and pain management. This review discusses the data presented at the 2011 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting symptom management and supportive care strategies including Abstracts #e14665, #e14622, and #LBA9014. Success is needed in managing these symptoms to palliate patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. It is important for oncologists to recognize the importance of supportive measures that can minimize the symptoms of advanced disease and side effects of cancer treatment.
胰腺癌是最致命的恶性肿瘤之一。姑息治疗是胰腺恶性肿瘤患者管理的一个重要方面。识别和治疗与疾病相关的症状非常重要。作为照顾这些患者的医生，了解这些症状和治疗方式至关重要。常见问题包括胆道梗阻、抗凝和疼痛管理。本综述讨论了在2011年美国临床肿瘤学会（ASCO）年会上提出的数据，包括症状管理和支持性护理策略，如摘要#e14665、#e14622和#LBA9014。成功管理这些症状对于缓解晚期胰腺癌患者的痛苦很有必要。肿瘤学家认识到支持性措施的重要性很重要，这些措施可以将晚期疾病的症状和癌症治疗的副作用降至最低。
