Pancreatic cancer is considered one of the most devastating, the survival rate, especially for lost time, is extremely low. A feature is that the symptoms in the early stages, as a rule, are barely noticeable and are often ignored by patients.
And yet some of them can and should alert. Oncologist Andrey Vorobyov listed them
First of all, physical weakness and lack of energy should become suspicious. Unlike the usual lack of strength, this symptom is different in that it can cover a part of the body – for example, arms and legs. Weakness does not go away with time and interferes with the performance of daily activities.
One of the early symptoms can be itching of the skin, which seems to be pricked with thorns – a person has a need to scratch.
Other signs include yellowing of the whites of the eyes, darker urine and paler stools than usual, loss of appetite or effortless weight loss, feeling hot or shaky, diarrhea, constipation or other changes in stool, pain in the upper abdomen and back that may increase when you eat or lie down and decrease when you lean forward.
These same symptoms may be signs of other disorders in the body, so diagnosis and consultation with a doctor is necessary, reports Medikforum.
