Pancreatic cancer doesn’t usually give rise to any symptoms or signs in the early stages.
This is the main reason why it can be so difficult to detect and diagnose. As the cancer grows the symptoms it causes will depend on the type of pancreatic cancer and where it is in the pancreas.
A team of scientists from the Institute of Cancer in Boston made some research and discover the first signs of pancreatic cancer.
The sign is increased level of amino acid, and to this conclusion came by analyzing samples of blood from 1500 persons.
They discovered the huge size of the amino acid in the body and later was discovered pancreatic cancer.
Mouses which have tumor also have huge size of the amino acid.
This research has shown that if the cancer is not detect in time, can be treated very hard, and after only one year treatment, the patient die.
