According to He Jiuliang's experience, if patients of this age have any metastasis, the surgery would have been done in vain. Moreover, although the size of the tumor was not large, it was certainly not small either—it was almost 3 centimeters.

Ideally, the discovery of cancer should be controlled within 1 centimeter, since tumors smaller than 1 centimeter have a minimal possibility of invading other organs, and a very high five-year survival rate. However, in our country, it's really hard to catch these early-stage tumors. They are found more frequently overseas, which indeed excels in cancer screening compared to our country.

For tumors not in an extremely early stage, it's tough for both the patients and the doctors, and the outcome is often tragic, especially in pancreatic cancer, where there are no targeted drugs. Once cancer metastasizes, the struggle becomes about medication, not just surgery.
