Pancreatic cancer symptoms can often be overlooked
Pancreatic cancer is known as a 'silent killer' as patients often don't experience symptoms until it's spread around the boy.
Health experts have warned about the tell-tale signs that appear in a person’s stool, because when a pancreatic duct becomes blocked by a tumour there are insufficient pancreatic juices in the intestines, The Mirror reports. “Diarrhoea consisting of loose, watery, oily or foul-smelling stools can be caused by insufficient amounts of pancreatic enzymes in the intestines,” the charity added.
The foul odour stems from the fatty element of steatorrhoea, which produces a distinctive smell of volatile organic compounds.
