People have been urged to take note of two earlier signs of pancreatic cancer. The cancer, described as a 'silent disease', has one of the lowest 10-year survival rates of any cancer.
It has made the headlines in recent days following the death of US talk show host Jerry Springer, who died just months after being diagnosed with the disease. Due to the disease’s mortality rate, knowing the symptoms, even those one might miss, is crucial, reports the Mirror Online.
According to experts, pancreatic cancer is known as a silent disease due to symptoms typically not showing up in the early stages. But researchers have identified two unrecognised early symptoms that people can look out for and will help doctors better diagnose the disease.
