Ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi pancreatic: ka mea e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike
I koʻu koho ʻana e kākau e pili ana i ka maʻi ʻaʻai pancreatic, makemake au e aʻo iaʻu iho a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e pili ana i kēia ʻano maʻi kanesa. ʻAʻole au i ʻike ʻo Nowemapa ka mahina ʻike maʻi maʻi pancreatic, a ʻo ka World Pancreatic Cancer Day ʻo ke kolu o ka Pōʻalima o Nowemapa. I kēia makahiki, 2023, ʻo ka lā Pancreatic Awareness Day ma Nowemapa 16th. Pono e hoʻokumu i ka ʻike e pili ana i kēia maʻi pōʻino. ʻO ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana i ka poʻe heluhelu e pili ana i ka maʻi maʻi pancreatic a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka ʻike ke kī i ka ʻike.
ʻO ka maʻi ʻaʻai pancreatic ke kolu o nā kumu nui o ka make ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi maʻi ma kēia ʻāina, me ka awelika o ke ola ma waena o 5% a 9%. ʻAʻole ʻike pinepine ʻia nā hōʻailona maʻi maʻi pancreatic, e ʻike ʻia ana ma nā pae hope. Aia nā ʻano like ʻole o ka maʻi maʻi pancreatic, akā ʻo ka ʻano maʻamau ka adenocarcinoma, e ulu ana mai nā ʻāpana exocrine o ka pancreas. ʻO kekahi ʻano maʻi ʻaʻai pancreatic ʻo ia nā ʻōpū neuroendocrine, ka mea i hoʻokumu ʻia mai nā pūnaewele hana o ka pancreas.
Aia kekahi mau mea pilikia e hiki ke hoʻonui i kou kūlana o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi pancreatic, ʻo ia hoʻi ka puhi ʻana, ke kaumaha nui, ka maʻi diabetes, a me ka pancreatitis mau. Hiki ke hoʻoilina.
ʻAʻole ʻike pinepine ʻia nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi maʻi pancreatic ma muli o kahi o ka pancreas kokoke i nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe. ʻO nā hōʻailona maʻamau o ka maʻi ʻaʻai pancreatic ʻo ia ka pau ʻana o ka ʻai, ka jaundice, ka ʻeha ʻōpū, ka pehu, ka pohō kaumaha ʻole, a me ka luhi. Pono e ʻimi i ka lāʻau lapaʻau inā hoʻomohala ʻoe i kekahi o kēia mau hōʻailona, ʻoi aku ka nui inā hoʻomau lākou. Hiki i nā maʻi maʻi pancreatic ke hoʻohūhū i ka ate a i ʻole ka gallbladder i kekahi manawa, a hiki i ke kauka ke ʻike i ka wā o ka hoʻokolokolo. Hiki i kāu kauka ke nānā i kou ʻili a me nā keʻokeʻo o kou mau maka no ka jaundice (yellowing).
ʻIke pinepine ʻia ka maʻi ʻaʻai pancreatic ma o nā hoʻāʻo kiʻi e like me CT scans, MRI scans, a i ʻole endoscopic ultrasounds, a ma o nā hoʻāʻo koko e nānā i nā hōʻailona tumo a me nā mea pili i ka maʻi kanesa. ʻAʻole ʻike mau nā hoʻāʻo no ka ʻike ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi pancreatic i nā liona liʻiliʻi, nā maʻi maʻi ma mua, a i ʻole nā maʻi maʻi maʻi mua.
Ua kaupalena ʻia nā koho lapaʻau no ka maʻi ʻaʻai pancreatic, a ʻo ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻana i ʻōlelo ʻia e pili ana i ka pae o ka maʻi maʻi i loko o kēlā me kēia kanaka. Hiki ke kōkua i ka chemotherapy a me ka radiation therapy i ka emi ʻana o ke koko a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka helu ola, akā he mau hopena ʻaoʻao.
He mea nui ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka maʻi maʻi pancreatic e hoʻonaʻauao i ka poʻe e pili ana i nā hōʻailona, nā kumu pilikia, a me nā koho lapaʻau i loaʻa. ʻO ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka maʻi a me ka ʻimi ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka manawa o ke ola a me ka maikaʻi o ke ola o nā maʻi. E hoʻokumu kākou i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka maʻi maʻi pancreatic i kēia Nowemapa a i ʻole. E hoʻomanaʻo, hoʻopakele nā ola i ka ʻike mua ʻana.
