这种癌症早期症状不明显 出现这几个信号要警惕

Group 1 - Pancreatic cancer is known as a "silent killer" due to its high malignancy and often asymptomatic early stages, leading to late-stage diagnosis [8][9] - The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is less than 10%, significantly lower than that of breast and lung cancers, which contributes to its reputation as the "king of cancers" [8] Group 2 - The pancreas functions as a "multi-functional factory," playing a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation [4][6] - It secretes pancreatic juice containing various digestive enzymes that break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats for easier absorption in the intestines [5] - Pancreatic islet cells secrete insulin and glucagon, which help maintain blood sugar balance [6] Group 3 - Risk factors for pancreatic cancer include uncontrollable factors such as age (over 55 years) and family history, which can increase the risk by 3-5 times [10][11] - Controllable high-risk factors include smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, chronic pancreatitis, and diabetes, with smoking increasing the risk by 2-3 times [14][27] Group 4 - Early detection through regular check-ups is recommended for high-risk groups, including those over 40 years old or with a family history of pancreatic cancer [15][16] - Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and following a balanced diet can significantly reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer [17][18][19][20] Group 5 - Common misconceptions about pancreatic cancer include the belief that a lack of family history negates the need for screening and that it is incurable once diagnosed [23][24] - Regular screenings and a healthy lifestyle are essential for prevention and early detection of pancreatic cancer [25]
