10 TOP early warning signs of pancreatic cancer that require immediate action!
Early warning signs of pancreatic cancer can often be difficult to recognize as they are often non-specific in the early stages of the disease. However, there are some specific symptoms that may indicate pancreatic cancer:
Unintentional weight loss without an obvious explanation can be an early sign of pancreatic cancer and occurs in 90% of those affected. This weight loss can be due to, for example, decreased appetite, inflammation from the cancer and the body’s inability to absorb nutrients effectively.
A change in bowel habits, especially diarrhea, can also be a sign. The normal function of the pancreas is impaired, resulting in poor digestion and absorption of nutrients. This can lead to greasy stools and diarrhea.
Jaundice (icterus) is a yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by an increase in the bilirubin level in the blood. In pancreatic cancer, a tumor can block the bile duct, which leads to a build-up of bilirubin and thus causes jaundice.
