Pancreatic cancer must be treated early. Signs and symptoms to watch for

1. Unexplained weight loss

Weight loss isn’t always a good thing, especially if it’s unplanned. Sudden, unintentional weight loss, particularly if accompanied by a loss of appetite, can be an early sign of pancreatic cancer.

 

2. Jouunisse

For illustrative purposes only

Redness of the skin and eyes can occur due to a buildup of bilirubin, a pigment produced by the liver. This may be a sign that pancreatic cancer is blocking the bile ducts.

3. Abdominal pain

Chronic or unexplained abdominal pain that may radiate to the back could indicate pancreatic cancer. The pain may be mild or severe and may worsen after eating.
