When pancreatic cancer is discovered, is it in advanced stage? Reminder: the body appears 4 signs, don't ignore it!
Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor located in the digestive tract.
Among all the malignant tumors, pancreatic cancer is the fastest and highest malignant tumor, and the mortality rate is very high. So far, the factors leading to pancreatic cancer are not very clear, but generally speaking, they are closely related to genetic abnormalities, genetic factors, wrong eating habits, smoking, and chronic pancreatitis.
Most of the pancreatic cancer, once found, is basically in the middle and advanced stage, and once pancreatic cancer enters the middle and advanced stage, the condition will rapidly deteriorate in a very short period of time, leaving patients with very short treatment time. So it is very important to prevent pancreatic cancer in our life. So, how to prevent pancreatic cancer in life? In fact, when the body appears four signs, it may be related to pancreatic cancer. Let's learn about it.
What are the four symptoms associated with pancreatic cancer?
1. Abdominal pain
In the early stage of pancreatic cancer, the patient will have a faint feeling of epigastric pain. This kind of pain is not obvious, mainly for the upper abdomen slightly discomfort, such as distending pain or dull pain. The pain is easily overlooked and is generally thought to be caused by improper diet. In addition, in the abdominal faint pain, there will be a continuous phenomenon of low back pain. With the development of the disease, the patient's abdominal pain will aggravate, especially in the night sleep, this symptom will be more obvious. The pain will be slightly reduced when sleeping in a curved position.
2. Dyspepsia
In the early stage of pancreatic cancer, patients will basically have dyspepsia, no matter what food they eat, they can't digest it quickly. Patients with nausea and vomiting, diarrhea or constipation phenomenon, at the same time, patients will appear different degrees of anorexia. These symptoms are accompanied by continued weight loss. If the patient has a very significant weight loss, it indicates that pancreatic cancer may have entered the advanced stage.
3. Jaundice
When suffering from pancreatic cancer, the patient will basically appear jaundice. The patient's sclera, skin and urine all turn yellow, and the stool will become clay color. This is because when you have pancreatic cancer, the extrahepatic bile duct is blocked. At the beginning, jaundice is lighter, but if not treated, jaundice will become more and more obvious with the development of the disease.
4. Diabetic symptoms
In the early stage of pancreatic cancer, most patients will have diabetes related diseases. The patient's blood sugar continued to rise, and the cause was unknown. Even with hypoglycemic drugs, blood sugar still fluctuates. Moreover, most patients also have intermittent and persistent low fever.
To sum up, when the body has unexplained abdominal pain, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, body weight loss and jaundice and diabetes symptoms, we must be hospitalized as soon as possible for relevant examination and treatment, which may be caused by pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer has a rapid onset and poor prognosis, which is the most malignant tumor. Therefore, once the above four symptoms are found, we must carry out relevant examination in time.
In addition, in daily life, people who smoke and drink alcohol for a long time and like to drink a lot of coffee, as well as people who like to eat some high-fat food, obese people, or people with familial pancreatic cancer should have regular physical examination. These groups of people belong to the high-risk group of pancreatic cancer.
