Pancreatic Cancer Symtomps
Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of your pancreas an organ in your abdomen that lies horizontally behind the lower part of your stomach. Your pancreas secretes enzymes that aid digestion and hormones that help regulate the metabolism of sugars.Pancreatic cancer often has a poor prognosis, even when diagnosed early. Pancreatic cancer usually spreads quickly and is seldom detected in its early stages, which is a major reason why it is a leading cause of cancer death. Signs and signs may not appear until pancreatic cancer is advanced and surgical removal is not feasible.
Signs & signs of pancreatic cancer often don't occur until the disease is advanced. When signs & signs do appear, they may include:
Upper abdominal pain that may radiate to your back
Yellowing of your skin & the whites of your eyes (jaundice)
Loss of appetite
Weight loss
Depression
Blood clots
When to see a doctor
See your doctor in case you experience unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, jaundice, or other signs & signs that bother you. Lots of diseases & conditions other than cancer may cause similar signs & signs, so your doctor may check for these conditions as well as for pancreatic cancer.
