Hello, what are the early symptoms of Pancreatic cancer that a person can detect?

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd May '24

In many cases there are often no signs and symptoms, until the pancreatic cancer has reached an advanced stage. Even when there may be some early signs and symptoms, they are often vague, so patients tend to ignore them or doctors sometimes attribute them to some other disease.

 

Some of the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer that need to be taken seriously include:

  • Jaundice (with or without itching)
  • Dark urine or light-colored stool
  • General symptoms such as back pain, Fatigue or weakness
  • Pancreatitis
  • New-onset diabetes in an adult
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Loss of appetite
  • Malnutrition
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal pain, others.

 

Consult oncologists. Hope our answer helps you.

Good morning. On examination of the CT scan and the MRI they detected a thymoma, with a benign appearance. Do you think I should remove it or do a biopsy first? THANKS

Female | 65

First, a biopsy should be performed in order to confirm the diagnosis of thymoma. When the diagnosis is made, it should be surgically removed. See a thoracic surgeon to have correct diagnosis and management.

•Diffuse hypermetabolic FDG uptake seen over axial
and appendicular skeleton with no CT changes, likely
proliferative for CBC • Enlarged spleen (19,4 cm) with ause hypermetabolic FDG uptake of SUVmax~3.5. •FDG avid descending colon mural wall thickening reaching~9 mm thick with SUVmax~2.6. What does this mean in a leukemia case? is the case in late stages?

Male | 70

Leuke­mia causes lots of cell activity in bones, sple­en, and colon. The words show leuke­mia spread to these body parts. Enlarge­d spleen and colon thickening are­ signs. It's critical to discuss findings with healthcare team. This allows planning be­st treatment.

I have blushing on my chest that come and go after cool down the redness gone completely but I also have lump underneath of lower inner quadrant of right breast I have this lump since 5 years is it sign of cancer

Female | 18

I recommend you to go to the breast specialist urgently to get a full diagnostic examination. Mass in the breast may be a sign of breast cancer, but not all the causes are the same.
