Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of the pancreas located in the lower part of the stomach. The cancer cells begin to grow out of control and cause problems.
 |
| Back pain and abdominal pain:These are known to be some of the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Generally, you will feel a sharp pain in the upper abdomen that will gradually spread to the back. |
 |
| Jaundice:People with pancreatic cancer often have jaundice. Jaundice can cause itching on the feet and hands, mainly the soles and palms. |
 |
| Sudden weight loss:This is one of the notable symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Weight loss occurs when the tumor spreads to other organs and impairs their function. This leads to improper digestion of nutrients and loss of appetite. Sudden weight loss is one of the leading symptoms of pancreatic cancer. |
 |
| Nausea and vomiting:Nausea and vomiting are among the symptoms of pancreatic cancer. As the tumor grows, it can block parts of the digestive tract and affect digestion. This can lead to nausea and vomiting. |
 |
| Change in urine color:For people with pancreatic cancer, urine color can turn orange, brown... A growing tumor causes bile to be blocked and not drain out of the body. Excess bilirubin in the body can enter the urine and make it darker. |
 |
| Color change:The person's stools will become large, pale and foul-smelling. This is because the growing tumor will prevent the pancreas from producing digestive enzymes. |
 |
| Flatulence:The presence of a tumor can cause digestive symptoms such as bloating, heartburn, and inflammation in the abdomen. These symptoms can occur when the pancreas begins to put pressure on the abdomen and stomach. Bloating is one of the early signs of pancreatic cancer. |
 |
| Poor appetite:People with pancreatic cancer tend to have a decreased appetite and feel full quickly even after eating very little. As the tumor grows, it can put pressure on the small intestine, blocking the digestive tract and thus suppressing appetite. |
