Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer

• Pancreatic cancer often goes undetected until it’s advanced and difficult to treat.
• Initially, pancreatic cancer tends to be silent and painless as it grows. By the time it’s large enough to cause symptoms, pancreatic cancer has generally grown outside the pancreas
• Pancreatic cancer in the head of the pancreas tends to cause symptoms such as weight loss, jaundice (yellow skin), dark urine, light stool color, itching, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, back pain, and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck.
• Pancreatic cancer in the body or tail of the pancreas usually causes belly and/or back pain and weight loss.
