Is localized duodenal cancer serious?

Localized cancer of the duodenum is more serious.
The chance of localized duodenal cancer is low, but once it occurs, it is more serious, and patients may suffer from obstructive jaundice, weight loss, fatigue and other symptoms. Without standardized early treatment, cancer cells may spread at any time and even metastasize to distant organs, which may threaten life and lead to death.
Many patients are found during physical examination, and most of them are found in middle and late stages. The mortality rate of duodenal cancer is relatively high. When patients have symptoms such as abdominal pain, jaundice, anemia, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy and fatigue, and low-grade fever that does not go away, they should do relevant examinations in time, including gastroscopy and abdominal CT, to make clear the early diagnosis and early treatment in time.
