The main criterion in the treatment of cancer is the stage at which the tumor is detected. Therefore, it is important to monitor your health in order to recognize the first symptoms of the disease.

According to oncologist Liana Sadykova, this also applies to pancreatic cancer, which is one of the most aggressive types of cancer. This is due to the fact that the tumor, formed in the pancreas, quickly metastasizes to neighboring organs.

The doctor noted that in recent years there has been an increase in patients with this type of cancer among men by 11%, and among women - by 23%.

The first symptoms of pancreatic cancer Sadykova called weakness and loss of strength, iron deficiency anemia, increased blood sugar, digestive disorders, heartburn, nausea, vomiting after meals.

When the cancer gives metastases, the symptoms become brighter. The patient has pain in the right subcostal region, the liver increases in size, the spleen ceases to perform its work well, symptoms of jaundice and intoxication are manifested.

Also to the symptoms of pancreatic cancer Sadykova attributed ascites and weight loss, writes "Gazeta.Ru".

Earlier, a group of Spanish and American scientists found that palm oil increases the risk of metastases in cancer, and sandwiches with sausage and cheese and mayonnaise are harmful to the pancreas.
