Pancreatic cancer is known by many as a "silent killer" as its symptoms can be notoriously difficult to notice - until too late. But after US talk show host Jerry Springer died from the disease aged 79 last week, after being diagnosed just a few months ago, more and more people are looking to find out what symptoms they should be looking out for.
