Death is a topic that none of us can avoid. Pancreatic cancer, a malignant disease, is a destruction to human health and even more harmful to life. What are the signs of death in pancreatic cancer patients? Will it be painful when pancreatic cancer recurs? Let's take a look at the following expert introduction.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the ten most common malignant tumors, causing great harm to people's health. If not treated in time, it may be life-threatening. Next, we will introduce the symptoms of advanced pancreatic cancer before death.

1. Neurological symptoms: Some patients with pancreatic cancer may experience anxiety, depression, insomnia, personality changes, etc., and the symptoms are very obvious.

2. Gastrointestinal symptoms: Gastrointestinal symptoms mainly include loss of appetite and nausea

3. Abdominal pain: Upper abdominal discomfort and dull pain are the most common first clinical symptoms of pancreatic cancer in the late stage before death. The location of the abdominal pain is unclear and the range is relatively wide. The typical location of pancreatic cancer is the upper abdomen and left hypochondrium, and then it can radiate to the back, chest, and right scapula. Abdominal pain can manifest as dull pain, heavy tenderness, gnawing pain, etc., which is mostly persistent and can be aggravated after meals. Once the pain intensifies and needs to be suppressed by drugs, death is not far away.

4. Jaundice: Jaundice is one of the important symptoms of pancreatic cancer in the late stage before death, and obstructive jaundice is the most prominent manifestation of pancreatic head cancer, with an incidence of more than 90%. In the early stage, the pancreatic body and tail may not have jaundice. Jaundice is usually persistent and progressively deepens. In case of complete obstruction, the stool may be clay-colored, the skin may be brown or bronze-colored, accompanied by itching, and worsening symptoms indicate that death is imminent.

5. Fever: At least 10% of patients have fever during the course of the disease. In the late stage of pancreatic cancer, clinical manifestations may include 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.

6. Weight loss: Significant weight loss is a common symptom of death in the late stage of pancreatic cancer. About 90% of patients will experience weight loss, which is characterized by rapid progression. We can consider that it is related to lack of pancreatic juice and bile, poor digestion and absorption function, poor appetite, sleep, heavy mental burden and direct effects of cancer cells. 70% of pancreatic cancer patients are "consumed" to death by weight loss.
