Mr. Liu, 48, had been suffering from diarrhea for over a month, assuming it was a gastrointestinal issue. However, after experiencing weight loss, he went to the hospital and was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer. 1. Pancreatic Cancer and Diarrhea: Pancreatic cancer is a major cause of death in China.

Diarrhea is a symptom caused by impaired pancreatic function. Factors Contributing to Low Survival Rates: Early detection is difficult due to the lack of symptoms and effective screening methods, along with the absence of targeted drugs for the most common mutation in pancreatic cancer. Additionally, the tumor microenvironment makes it hard for drugs to penetrate the tumor.

2. Three Signs of Pancreatic Cancer during Meals: Pancreatic cancer often masquerades as other diseases. Three symptoms during meals include stomach pain, indigestion, and abnormal blood sugar levels. Other signs include jaundice, abnormal bowel movements, weight loss, and foul-smelling stools.

3. Preventive Measures for Pancreatic Cancer: Quitting smoking and drinking, avoiding high-fat/high-calorie foods, and regular check-ups are vital preventive steps.

High-risk individuals should undergo regular screenings. To combat the "king of cancers," prevention through a healthy lifestyle, preventive measures, and regular screenings is crucial.
