The pancreas is located in the upper abdomen and is one of the important organs in the body's endocrine and digestive systems. Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor that originates from the pancreas, which has a high degree of malignancy, rapid growth, and is difficult to detect early. Symptoms of pancreatic cancer are generally manifested as vague pain in the upper abdomen, weight loss, loss of appetite, jaundice, etc. Due to the lack of obvious symptoms, many patients are already in the advanced stage when they are diagnosed, which greatly reduces the effect.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pancreatic cancer is mainly related to dampness, heat, and poison in the body. Dampness, heat, and poison accumulate in the pancreas, resulting in poor flow of qi and blood, and an imbalance of yin and yang in the body, resulting in the formation of tumors.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease associated with inadequate insulin secretion or impaired insulin action. Insulin is a hormone secreted by islet cells in the pancreas, which promotes the absorption and utilization of glucose and regulates blood sugar levels. Some studies have shown that patients with pancreatic cancer have a higher rate of comorbidity with diabetes, and that there is also a higher incidence of pancreatic cancer in patients with diabetes. There is a complex interrelationship between the two diseases.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, diabetes is mainly related to the dampness and heat in the body. Damp heat can block the function of pancreatic islet cells, leading to insulin insufficiency or insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes. Traditional Chinese medicine often uses the methods of clearing away heat and dampness, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, and ** diabetes. For example, drugs such as Coptis chinensis, yam, and Poria cocos have the effect of strengthening the spleen and promoting dampness, which can help regulate dampness and heat in the body and improve the function of pancreatic islet cells.
