Pancreatic Cancer Signs & Symptoms

A beginner’s guide to bring understanding about pancreatic cancer to caregivers, people at
high risk and people who are newly diagnosed.
Although considered rare, pancreatic cancer may touch your life more than you realize. Get the latest information on risk factors,
screening, diagnosis, treatment, complementary therapies, survivorship, and more.
Signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer vary and sometimes do not occur until the disease is in an advanced stage. Many of these symptoms are common to other digestive system ailments. That is why it is so difficult to diagnose and detect pancreatic cancer during early stages.
Check with your doctor if you experience these symptoms. It is especially important to pay attention if you are diabetic or prediabetic and you have a family history of pancreatic cancer.
