Hello doctor,
The doctor asked me if my father went to the doctor to see the lymph nodes in the head of the pancreas, so now is there any solution to limit the disease outbreak or how to treat the lymph nodes in the head of the pancreas?

Hello,
With The question "How to treat lymph nodes in the head of the pancreas? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The lymph nodes are an important part of the body's immune system that helps fight infections. Lymph nodes are scattered throughout the body along the path of the lymphatic vessels and often gather in groups to receive lymph from each body region. Pancreatic head lymph nodes are lymph nodes located in the head of the pancreas. If the lymph node size is large, it may be due to inflammation, primary cancer or metastatic cancer.
Depending on the cause of the enlarged lymph nodes, specific treatments vary. So you need to take your father to the hospital for a specialist in Gastroenterology for advice on doing more tests to determine what is the cause of this new treatment.
If you still have questions about the lymph nodes in the head of the pancreas, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
