Man, 66, hit with malignant cancer after experiencing dyspepsia

The man from the case report also struggled with nausea – a tell-tale sign of both pancreatic and oesophageal cancers, according to the NHS.

Following the warning signs, tests revealed both oesophageal and pancreatic cancer.

The research paper concluded: “To our knowledge, this is the first report of PCS combined with EC and thus of metachronous multiple primary carcinoma.

“A detailed literature review of the clinical and histologic features of PCS reveals important information about the epidemiology and biology of this rare disease.”
