What are the signs of pancreatic cancer

What are the signs of pancreatic cancer? In our daily life, our knowledge of the disease is very limited, so we ignore many early signs and delay the best treatment time for the disease. Pancreatic cancer is a very harmful digestive tract malignancy and is known as the "king of cancer" in the medical community. So, for this terrible disease, what are the clinical symptoms?

Symptom 1: Upper abdominal discomfort and dull pain: Upper abdominal discomfort and dull pain are the most common first manifestations of pancreatic cancer, but the location of the abdominal pain is unclear and the range is wide. The typical location is the middle upper abdomen and left hypochondrium, which can radiate to the back, chest, and right scapula. The abdominal pain can be manifested as dull pain, heavy tenderness, gnawing pain, etc., which is mostly persistent and can be aggravated after meals.

Omen 2: Jaundice: Many pancreatic cancer patients will experience jaundice, and occasionally some patients with early pancreatic cancer will also have this symptom. Obstructive jaundice is the most prominent manifestation of pancreatic head cancer, with an incidence rate of more than 90%. In the early stage, the pancreatic body and tail may not have jaundice. Jaundice is generally persistent and progressively deepens. When the obstruction is complete, the stool may be clay-colored, the skin may be brown or bronze, and it may be accompanied by itching.

Sign 3: Weight loss: Pancreatic cancer patients will also have obvious weight loss. When pancreatic cancer develops to the late stage, patients will have obvious weight loss. Generally speaking, 90% of patients have weight loss, which is characterized by rapid development, lack of pancreatic juice and bile, poor digestion and absorption function, poor appetite, sleep, heavy energy burden and direct effects of cancer cells.

Omen 4: Fever: At least 10% of patients have fever during the course of the disease. Pancreatic cancer can be clinically manifested as low fever, high fever, intermittent fever or irregular fever. The cause may be related to the pyrogen released by the cancer cells themselves or secondary biliary infection. If the high fever continues, it will also accelerate death.

Omen 5. Gastrointestinal symptoms: Gastrointestinal symptoms mainly include loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation or gastrointestinal bleeding, etc.

Pancreatic cancer has a very poor prognosis and is very aggressive. You should start with prevention, eat more fruits and vegetables, participate in proper exercise, develop a regular lifestyle, and eat some natural anti-cancer foods. If you have the above symptoms, please pay enough attention and go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Only early detection and early treatment can increase the chance of survival.
