Abstract: In recent years,the incidence of pancreatic cancer has gradually increased,and the proportion of elderly pancreatic cancer has also gradually increased,Therefore,in clinical diagnosis and treatment,more attention should be paid to the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer in the elderly.However,clinical practice has found that the diagnosis and treatment of elderly pancreatic cancer is still insufficient,the most obvious is the low rate of early diagnosis,so the proportion of patients receiving radical surgery is low,leading to poor clinical efficacy and prognosis.Currently,there are many feasible methods for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer,and minimally invasive surgery is an important choice for the clinical treatment of pancreatic cancer.This article discusses the status of early diagnosis and minimally invasive surgical treatment of elderly pancreatic cancer in order to provide a certain guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer in the elderly.
