4. Digestive problems

For illustrative purposes only

The pancreas can interfere with the production of digestive enzymes, which can lead to indigestion, diarrhea, or foul-smelling stools.

5. New diabetes in the game

Pancreatic cancer can disrupt insulin production, which can lead to the development of diabetes in people who did not previously have the disease.

6. Changes in bowel movements

Pale, greasy, or floating stools may indicate a problem with the pancreas, which in turn may indicate pancreatic cancer.
