Talk show host Jerry Springer has died at age 79 of pancreatic cancer. Here's what to know about pancreatic cancer.
The above symptoms tend to occur in later stages of the disease, and there are"no tell-tale signs" of early pancreatic cancer, but some patients will develop"vague" symptoms up to a year before they get diagnosed, per Cleveland Clinic. For example, many patients have back or stomach pain leading up to their diagnosis. Early symptoms may come and go or get worse after meals or when lying down.
"What happens a lot of times is people either think it's just acid reflux, that they ate something funny or they ascribe it to some other thing for a while," he adds."They'll see their doctors and many of them will be started on acid reflux medicines or other things targeting general stomach issues. That's why I emphasize anything that goes on for ... five, six weeks at a time isn't going to be your garden variety reflux, indigestion, constipation-related stuff.
Pancreatic cancer has one of the lower survival rates of cancers in the U.S., although it's improved over the years, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Once again, that's because the disease is most often diagnosed in later stages when it's already spread in the body. For patients diagnosed when the cancer hasn't spread outside the pancreas, the five-year survival rate is around 44%,. When it's spread to parts of the body near the pancreas by diagnosis, it's about 15%. When it's spread beyond that at diagnosis, for example to the lungs or liver, the survival rate of pancreatic cancer is 3%.
