    The clinical manifestations of pancreatic cancer are insidious, early diagnosis is very difficult, about 80% of patients are in the advanced stage of the disease at the time of treatment, but pancreatic cancer is by no means a "terminal disease", and there are no clues to be found in the early stage of the disease, and the early symptoms are as follows:

    Jaundice: Cancers that occur in the body and tail of the pancreas do not appear jaundice in the early stage, while cancers that occur in the head of the pancreas appear early because they compress its immediate neighbor, the common bile duct and its opening.

    Abdominal pain: cancer occurs in the head of the pancreas, and there may not be abdominal pain in the early stage, but if it occurs in the body of the pancreas and the tail of the pancreas, abdominal pain will appear very early.

    Wasting: Most people with pancreatic cancer quickly become emaciated. In addition to the consumption of cancer, there are the following reasons: eating less; Insufficient secretion of pancreatic juice affects the digestion and absorption of food; Secondary diabetes occurs due to insufficient insulin secretion.

    Therefore, as long as people are vigilant, pancreatic cancer can still be detected early. If a person, especially middle-aged and elderly people, suddenly has "** jaundice", or "abdominal pain that does not look like a stomach problem", combined with rapid weight loss, you should think of the possibility of pancreatic cancer. The correct way is not to take the medicine casually, but to cooperate with the doctor and the patient and do an active examination.

    People at high risk of pancreatic cancer, such as family history, long-term bad lifestyle habits, and pancreatitis, should focus on prevention, eat more vegetables and fruits, participate in exercise appropriately, develop a regular life and rest, and eat some natural anti-cancer foods such as ginsenosides. It should be noted that the composition of ginsenosides is relatively complex, and it is best to take the special anti-cancer molecules inside, such as RG, Rh, etc., among which Rh2 (life protecting) has the strongest anti-cancer activity.

    Pancreatic cancer is not easy to detect in the early stages. Because the symptoms are very atypical, usually the upper abdomen is a little distended, and I don't pay much attention to it. Therefore, most patients will only go to the doctor once they are found to have abdominal pain, jaundice, ascites, or other metastatic symptoms.

    The key to the prevention of pancreatic cancer is to have regular check-ups and pay attention to lifestyle habits and diet.

    Early Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer Early pancreatic cancer is largely asymptomatic. Most of the symptoms are advanced, because it is related to the anatomical site of pancreatic cancer, which is a retromembranous organ located behind the stomach, so it is difficult to detect pancreatic cancer on general examination. Because color ultrasound is not easy to penetrate the stomach wall, see the pancreas behind the membrane, usually want to detect pancreatic cancer early, you should pay attention to the following points:

    1. If there is anorexia, indigestion, unexplained weight loss, vague pain in the upper abdomen, or even abnormal blood sugar, it is necessary to pay attention to the possibility of pancreatic cancer; 2. If you have nausea and sleepwalking, you should also pay attention; 3. If there is a digestive tract tumor, in addition to stomach diseases, liver diseases, and gallbladder diseases, pancreatic problems should also be considered.

The early symptoms of pancreatic cancer are not very obvious, but there can be outstanding manifestations, such as anorexia, indigestion, significant weight loss, abdominal discomfort and pain, jaundice, epigastric pain, which are generally similar to stomach pain, liver discomfort, and weight loss for no reason.

    Hello, there are generally no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and most of the symptoms that appear are in the middle and late stages.

    1. Epigastric discomfort and vague pain are the most common first symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Tumors often cause pancreatic duct or bile duct obstruction, although it has not yet caused jaundice, bile excretion is not smooth, the pressure in the biliary tract increases, the bile duct and gallbladder are dilated to varying degrees, and the patient may feel abdominal discomfort and dull pain. In the past, it was emphasized that the typical symptom of pancreatic head cancer was ** jaundice, but in fact, ** jaundice as the first symptom only appeared in 10 30 patients.

    Abdominal pain is still a very common symptom in patients with pancreatic head cancer. For pancreatic caudal cancer, there is a higher incidence of abdominal pain, and there may be significant epigastric and low back pain due to involvement of the celiac plexus. The presence of this symptom often indicates that the lesion has advanced to an advanced stage.

    2. Obstructive jaundice is a prominent manifestation of pancreatic head cancer. If the tumor is located near the ampullary area, jaundice may appear earlier. Jaundice is often persistent and progressively deepening. The stool becomes pale in color and even clay-colored. The skin is yellow and brown or bronze, and there is **itching.

    3. In addition to obstructive jaundice, pancreatic head cancer often causes gallbladder enlargement, which can be clearly palpated in the right upper quadrant. Obstructive jaundice with gallbladder enlargement often suggests a periampullary tumour.

    4. About 90% of patients have rapid and significant weight loss, often accompanied by massetice in the late stage.

    5. Fatigue and loss of appetite are very common, and can be accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and nausea. In some cases, steatorrhea and hyperglycemia and diabetes may occur.

    6. Fever may occur due to cancer ulceration or infection, or secondary bile duct infection.

    7. Thrombophlebitis of limb veins can be seen in some pancreatic body and tail cancers, resulting in local limb edema.

    8. In addition to jaundice, the physical examination may also have epigastric tenderness. In the late stage, a nodul, hard mass may be palpable in the upper abdomen. If jaundice is accompanied by gallbladder enlargement, it is an important basis for pancreatic head cancer.

    Liver enlargement is often palpable due to cholestasis. If the cancer compresses the splenic vein or when the splenic vein thrombosis forms, splenomegaly may be palpable.

    9. In advanced cases, ascites may appear, and hard and enlarged metastatic lymph nodes can be palpated in the left supraclavicular or anterior rectal depression.
