How to diagnose male pancreatic cancer

First, most patients have severe progressive epigastric pain, often radiating to the back. Although the pain of pancreatic cancer is alleviated by curling posture or simulating fetal posture, all patients eventually need narcotic analgesics.

Second: weight loss and abdominal pain occur in most advanced patients. Adenocarcinoma may cause obstructive jaundice. If the tumor is located in the body and tail of the pancreas, it may lead to splenic vein obstruction, splenomegaly, gastric and esophageal varices and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Third: the symptoms do not appear until the later stage of the disease. When the diagnosis is established, 90% of the patients' tumors have locally progressed, and the results of routine laboratory tests are often normal. If there is bile duct obstruction or liver metastasis, there may be an increase in alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin.
