Objective To explore the treatment strategies of different types of pancreatic cancer.Methods By reading the relevant literatures on the treatment of pancreatic cancer at home and abroad in recent years, the classification of pancreatic cancer and the progress of treatment measures were summarized.Results According to preoperative imaging evaluation, pancreatic cancer was divided into resectable pancreatic cancer, borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, locally advanced pancreatic cancer, and pancreatic cancer with distant metastasis. Resection of pancreatic cancer should be radical resection, supplemented with chemotherapy after surgery; patients with resected pancreatic cancer in the junction, if the patient with venous invasion could be resected and reconstructed, it was recommended to undergo surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with unresectable reconstruction and arterial invasion should undergo neoadjuvant therapy, and then re-evaluate the resectability of the tumor to determine whether surgery was feasible. Patients with locally advanced or combined metastatic pancreatic cancer had lost the opportunity for surgery, for this kind of patient, advocated neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or second-line combined targeted therapy.Conclusions Most patients with pancreatic cancer have progressed to the stage of clinical diagnosis. They are familiar with the treatment of different types of pancreatic cancer and take targeted treatment measures to improve the survival time of patients.
