Pancreatic cancer : An important sign of cancer that appears in 86% of cases!

Pancreatic cancer has a generally poor prognosis and is one of the most devastating diagnoses a person can receive.

This type of cancer has the lowest survival rate of all common cancers, according to Pancreatic Cancer UK.

This grim statistic is not helped by the fact that this cancer does not usually cause symptoms in the early stages.

Once symptoms appear, they most often affect the abdomen where the tumor is located, but other parts of the body can also ring alarm bells.

Weakness could be your body's subtle way of warning you of ongoing pancreatic cancer.

Also known as physical weakness, the warning sign describes a lack of energy that can target specific parts of the body as well as the entire body.

This symptom can affect parts of your body, such as your arms and legs, or affect your entire body.

You may feel weak all or most of the time and doing everyday things may become more difficult.

According to research published in the Journal of Clinical and Translational Oncology, weakness is one of the most "frequent" signs of pancreatic cancer.

Looking at 185 participants, the research team found that the marker targeted 86% of patients with the condition.

The Spanish scientists obtained symptom data through personal interviews, where symptoms were recorded by the treating physician upon admission to the hospital.

The scientists concluded that "appropriate attention" to warning signs and symptoms may help identify patients with pancreatic cancer at an early stage, which is essential for any cancer.

Therefore, it is important to be able to identify all of the warning signs associated with pancreatic cancer, including:

- The whites of your eyes or skin turn yellow (jaundice).

- Itchy skin, dark urine, and stools that are paler than usual.

- Loss of appetite or weight loss without trying.

- Feeling tired or lacking energy.

- High temperature, feeling hot or shivering.

Feeling sick.

- Diarrhea, constipation, or other stool changes.

Pain in your upper abdomen and back, which may be worse when eating or lying down and improves when you lean forward.

- Symptoms of indigestion, such as feeling bloated.

While such symptoms do not guarantee that you have pancreatic cancer, as they can be caused by other benign conditions, it is "important" to have them checked by a doctor, advises Cancer Research UK.
