Pancreatic cancer has been dubbed a 'silent killer' as the symptoms are among the hardest to spot. People are being urged to look for two key early warning signs however, with the disease being brought to the public's attention after US TV star Jerry Springer died aged 79 from the disease last month, and Bobby Davro's fiancee Vicky Williams died this week.
Diagnosis often comes late for the illness because of the hidden signs, reports The Mirror.
Researches say there are two key symptoms to be aware of that could help doctors diagnose it early. This includes yellowing of the skin (jaundice) and bleeding in the stomach or intestine.
