A recent diagnosis of diabetes, especially without a family history, can be an early sign. Since the pancreas is responsible for producing insulin, cancer can disrupt this process.
Abnormal stools
Light, oily or floating stools may indicate that your pancreas is no longer producing enough digestive enzymes. A sign not to be taken lightly!
Intense and unexplained fatigue
Persistent fatigue, even after a good night’s sleep, may be a sign that your body is fighting a serious illness.
Persistent back pain
Unexplained back pain may be related to pressure from a pancreatic tumor on nearby nerves.
Blood clots
Painful swelling in a leg, unusual redness? Cancers, including pancreatic cancer, increase the risk of thrombosis.
Frequent nausea and vomiting
If your digestion is disrupted, you feel full quickly, or you have persistent nausea, your digestive system could be affected by a pancreatic tumor.
What to do if you have symptoms?
These symptoms may be related to other causes. However, if several signs persist or worsen, it is essential to consult a doctor. Early detection can make all the difference.
