What are the symptoms of pancreatic cancer

What are the more common symptoms of pancreatic cancer? Pancreatic cancer is a type of malignant tumor. The incidence of pancreatic cancer has been gradually increasing in recent years. Many people do not know the symptoms of pancreatic cancer. The following editor has collected some symptoms of pancreatic cancer, hoping that it will be helpful to you.

The symptoms of pancreatic cancer are mainly manifested in the following two aspects. The first is anorexia, cholangitis and other symptoms. Pancreatic cancer patients will also have some systemic symptoms, mainly cholangitis, anorexia and so on. Diabetes may be associated with the attack. Middle-aged people may experience depression, paranoia and hysteria, which are generally believed to be caused by pancreatic cancer. Mental symptoms mainly characterized by depressive symptoms can occasionally be seen in pancreatic cancer patients. More than half of these patients with mental symptoms have the appearance of mental symptoms, which is 6 months earlier than physiological signs and symptoms. It is precisely because of many specific and vague signs and symptoms that early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is very difficult, and doctors must remain highly vigilant.

In addition, if pancreatic cancer is not effectively treated, as the disease progresses, patients will also experience symptoms such as weight loss, abdominal pain, and jaundice. After the onset of pancreatic cancer, patients generally have hemorrhoids, nausea, and obvious abdominal pain. Weight loss is a non-specific symptom of pancreatic cancer, which is usually gradual and begins several months before the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Jaundice is the most common symptom of pancreatic cancer. Many patients develop it later, usually progressively worsening, but it also fluctuates naturally. For patients with small pancreatic cancers adjacent to the common bile duct, jaundice may be the only clinical manifestation. Jaundice is often accompanied by annoying itching in the upper arms, calves, and abdomen, especially at night.

The above is an introduction to the more common symptoms of pancreatic cancer. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of these symptoms. Middle-aged and elderly people must be aware of the harm of pancreatic cancer, actively take various preventive measures in daily life, and regularly exercise so that they can detect the presence of the disease in time.
