1. Sudden death of announcer Daisuke Sugaya

 

On November 8, 2025, Nippon Television announcer Daisuke Sugaya suddenly passed away due to a gastrointestinal hemorrhage. He was 53 years old. He had been working normally up until the day before, and no particular abnormalities were reported within the station. However, after returning home, he complained of a sudden change in his health, and although he was rushed to the hospital, his condition deteriorated in a short time. This shocked many people involved.

 

 

 

 

2. The cause of death was "gastrointestinal bleeding due to pancreatic cancer."

 

Sugaya announced he had pancreatic cancer in 2022, and after undergoing laparoscopic surgery to remove the tumor, returned to work while continuing chemotherapy. According to doctors, the sudden change in his condition was most likely caused by "a locally recurrent tumor that had eroded the surrounding blood vessels and digestive tract, causing bleeding." While gastrointestinal bleeding is not common in pancreatic cancer, it is a rare type that can be seen in advanced or recurrent cases.

 

 

◆ Comparison of characteristics and prognosis of pancreatic cancer

item	Content
Subjective symptoms	Hardly come out
Progression Speed	Tends to occur earlier than other cancers
5 year survival rate	Very low at around 10%
Risk of recurrence	It is said to be high even after surgery
The importance of regular inspections	Key to detecting recurrence

As this table shows, pancreatic cancer is a disease known for having a poor prognosis even with early detection and treatment.

 

 

 

 

3. Why pancreatic cancer is called the “silent cancer”

 

The pancreas is located deep within the body, and even if a tumor develops, by the time symptoms such as pain and jaundice appear, the disease is often already advanced. In Sugaya's case, the tumor was discovered through a subtle sign called "pancreatic duct dilation." Regular checkups are an important factor that could even be said to have saved his life.

 

 

 

 

 

4. His wife and family supported him during his battle with illness

 

Mr. Sugaya has a wife and child, and it is said that from the early stages of his battle with illness, his wife personally gathered information on treatments and medical issues, consulted with doctors, and provided him with emotional support. For Mr. Sugaya, his family is his "reason for living," and the understanding of his family was a major factor in his ability to continue working while undergoing treatment.

 

 

 

 

5. Fatherhood and the bond with children

Even while battling his illness, Sugaya continued to maintain his normal routine as a father at home as much as possible. Even though his health fluctuated, he maintained the same attitude in front of his children, and it has been reported that he was determined not to let his illness take away from family time.

 

 

 

 

6. Continuing to work and communicate while facing illness

Sugaya was a newscaster who chose not to hide her cancer. She shared her experiences of treatment and the painful side effects through social media and TV programs, and continued to bring courage to people in the same situation. The episode in which she underwent treatment with the goal of returning to live commentary for the Hakone Ekiden is particularly symbolic.

 

 

 

 

7. Doctors explain the mechanism of relapse and sudden changes

 

According to Dr. Toshiaki Tanimitsu, a physician and director of the hospital, it is not uncommon for a recurrence to occur three and a half years after surgery, and he points out that "even if a patient was able to work normally until the day before, a sudden change can occur depending on the progression of the recurrence." The possibility cannot be denied that the characteristic of pancreatic cancer "progressing silently" led to this sudden change.

 

 

 

 

8. Q&A: Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Does gastrointestinal bleeding really occur with pancreatic cancer?
A. It is not common, but it can occur if the infiltration associated with recurrence progresses.

 

 

Q2. Why were you able to work until the day before?
A. This is because symptoms of pancreatic cancer are difficult to detect, and even if the cancer has recurred, it takes a while to become aware of it.

 

 

Q3. Could the recurrence have been prevented?
A. Even with current medical technology, the recurrence rate is high, and it is difficult to completely prevent it even with regular checkups.

 

 

 

 

9. Summary

 

Announcer Daisuke Sugaya was a "man of strong words" who continued to protect his work and family even while facing illness.
Even while battling the severe disease of pancreatic cancer, his positive attitude and messages continue to remain in the hearts of many people.
