It has one of the lowest 10-year survival rates of any cancer
People have been urged to take note of two earlier signs of pancreatic cancer. The cancer, described as a 'silent disease', has one of the lowest 10-year survival rates of any cancer.
According to experts, pancreatic cancer is known as a silent disease due to symptoms typically not showing up in the early stages. But researchers have identified two unrecognised early symptoms that people can look out for and will help doctors better diagnose the disease.Both yellowing of the skin and bleeding in the stomach or intestine were seen as the two most serious symptoms associated with the disease.
“It is possible to diagnose patients when they visit their GP, but both patients and GPs need to be aware of the symptoms associated with pancreatic cancer.” “This research could help GPs and their patients know more about the signs of pancreatic cancer. It’s vital that people speak to their GP if they notice these symptoms.”
