Unexpected signs of pancreatic cancer that are easy to ignore
(Baonghean.vn) - Pancreatic cancer is a dangerous disease with the highest mortality rate of all cancers; only 8.5% of people live 5 years after being diagnosed... Pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect early because its symptoms are similar to many other chronic diseases; however, you should also pay attention to the early warning signs of the disease from the body below.

| This is one of the first symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Symptoms appear when tumors in the pancreas grow and attach to nerve roots. The pain in the middle of the back is persistent or stable depending on the severity of the disease... Initially, pain often appears in the upper abdomen, then along the back, worse when newfull |
 |
| This symptom is often mistaken for liver disease. However, it is identified as a warning sign of pancreatic cancer… Jaundice can cause itching in the hands and feet, mainly the palms and soles. The reason is that cancer cells block the bile ducts, leading to the accumulation of bile in the liver. |
 |
| People who suddenly develop blood clots of unknown cause should be screened for cancer or see a doctor to have their pancreas checked… While the exact cause of this condition is unknown, according to doctors, cancer cells reduce the amount of protein the body uses to prevent blood clots. |
 |
| When your urine starts to turn dark (brown or rusty), this could be one of the pancreatic cancer symptoms to look out for. This is because bilirubin - a substance produced by the liver that is part of bile - has built up in the blood and darkened the urine. |
 |
| Cancer in the pancreas that puts pressure on the lower part of the stomach can cause a partial blockage, making it difficult for food to pass through. This can cause nausea, vomiting, and pain, according to the American Cancer Society. These symptoms tend to get worse after eating, so if you have these symptoms, consider the possibility that they could be symptoms of pancreatic cancer. |
 |
| If you feel like you have no appetite or feel full after eating very little, this could also be a sign of pancreatic cancer… The pancreas is located right next to the small intestine, near the beginning of the small intestine. When a tumor appears, it can cause food to not be fully digested, to be pushed back or not to enter the small intestine as before. |
