Carcinoma of the head of pancreas has a high malignant degree and the 5-year survival rate at 5%. For unresectable pancreatic cancer, the 5-year survival rate is even lower. The clinical diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is difficult, and surgical indications are difficult to grasp. Moreover, perioperative and postoperative management is complex, and patients with different conditions need more attention to implement a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment strategy. In the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer and even other cancers, multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment can provide reasonable, personalized and more effective plans for patients so that cancer patients can receive better treatment and improve their quality of life. The multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment model can respond to the complex needs to individual patients.
