  schema:description "Most pancreatic cancers stop the gland's digestive enzymes reaching the gut, so fat passes through undigested and weight falls. Enzyme capsules taken with every meal and snack replace what is missing. NICE says everyone whose cancer cannot be removed should have them and that they should be considered before and after surgery, yet in UK records only about one patient in five was prescribed them."@en ;
