Doctors consider pancreatic cancer to be one of the most aggressive types of oncology - the disease is classified as rapidly progressive and poorly treatable, warned oncologist and surgeon Ivan Karasev."Disabling this organ will stagger at once two huge systems in the human body: digestive and hormonal", - explained the doctor.
Do not ignore the appearance of pain in the abdominal region (usually an area located near the pancreas). With oncology, discomfort can spread to the back and intensify at the moment when a person takes a horizontal position. The condition may worsen after eating. At the same time, the pain syndrome is not so noticeable in a sitting position. Cancer of the pancreas, many people for a long time confuse with diseases of the intervertebral discs.
The appearance of a serious problem in the body in connection with the lesion of the pancreas is often indicated by jaundice of the skin and sclera, jaundice can be a symptom of a tumor of the head of the pancreas.
Doctor-gastroenterologist Dilyara Lebedeva in her noted that the most common sign that it is time to deal with the GI tract - pulling pain in the side. And it is not a fact that here it is only about the pancreas - such a symptom requires complex treatment of the gastrointestinal tract.
