Ania Przybylska died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 36. It is said that the disease is detected late because it does not cause symptoms beforehand. We talked about this topic with an oncological surgeon who tells us how to recognize the symptoms of the developing disease.
— It is true that there are no symptoms typical of pancreatic cancer, but the lack of early symptoms at all is a myth. Patients simply do not pay attention to the first warning symptoms – said oncological surgeon Dr. Hab. in an interview with Medonet. Stanisław Hać. The expert also shared that in his experience, patients often ignore the first warning symptoms. He noted that when a patient goes to an oncologist with clear signs of cancer and the doctors start asking detailed questions, it turns out that the earlier symptoms occurred much earlier but were ignored.
