Pancreas cancer is indeed extremely hidden, leaving many patients at an advanced stage of diagnosis. But fortunately, through some methods, it is still possible to detect signs of pancreas cancer in advance. The following are the six methods of early detection of pancreas:
I. Observations of pain
Abdominal pain: Patients with pancreatic cancer may experience abdominal pain, swelling or blunt pain, with varying levels of pain and sometimes radiation to the back. This pain may be a continuous drilling pain, with a greater extent of abdominal pain in the middle and late stages of the disease, and may even be associated with the back of the waist. Moreover, the use of generic painkillers for abdominal pain caused by pancreas cancer is ineffective.
Back pain: The earliest symptoms of pancreatic cancer may be back pain, a sense of a very heavy stretching of the back, a greater sense of pain at night, which will not disappear for long periods of time and will become more severe.
Attention to weight change
Pancreas cancer is an important digestive organ, and if cancer cells appear on the pancreas they affect the digestive function, resulting in the body being unable to absorb enough nutrients to induce a sudden loss of body weight. Therefore, the possibility of pancreas cancer should be warned if there is an unspecified loss of weight without deliberate loss of weight.
III. Observe oscillations
Yellow is one of the early symptoms of pancreas cancer, especially when it occurs on the head. Yellows are shown in the yellow hair of skin and membranes, in the depths of urine colours (e.g., dark yellow or brown), and in the lightness of shit colours (near soil colours). This is due to the fact that pancreas tumours suppress the cholesterol, which prevents the cholesterol from coming out.
IV. Attention to digestion
Patients with pancreatic cancer may suffer from indigestion, appetite, nausea, vomiting and abdominal swelling. If these symptoms persist and are accompanied by other abnormal manifestations (e.g. weight loss, pain, etc.), the possibility of pancreas cancer needs to be kept vigilant. In addition, pancreas cancer patients tend to be anorexic to greasy foods such as walnuts, cheese, fried chicken, and fat food.
V. Monitoring changes in blood sugar
Some cases of pancreas cancer may have increased before the onset of the disease. If there is no history of diabetes, and if blood sugar suddenly rises and is difficult to control, a screening for pancreas cancer should be considered. This is because pancreas cancer may affect the endocrine function of pancreas, leading to insulin insufficiency or increased resistance.
Periodic medical examinations
Since early signs of pancreas cancer are not visible or specific, and the position of pancreas is less likely to be detected through regular medical examinations, regular medical examinations are essential for the early detection of pancreas cancer. An ultrasound, CT-scan or MRI-type visual examination is recommended to assess pancreas structures. In addition, blood tests, such as CA19-9, are used as a useful diagnostic tool.
In short, although the invisibility of pancreas cancer is very high, it is still possible to detect signs of pancreas cancer in advance, through careful observation of pain, attention to body weight changes, observation of yellow scab symptoms, attention to digestive problems, monitoring of blood sugar changes and periodic medical examinations. Once abnormal symptoms or suspected pancreas cancer have been detected, further examination and treatment should be done immediately.
