3. 🔥 Persistent Abdominal or Back Pain
Pain in the upper abdomen that radiates to the back is a common symptom.
It may worsen after eating or when lying down. This occurs when a growing tumor presses on nearby organs or nerves. Chronic, dull, or deep pain in this area should be checked immediately.
4. 🤢 Digestive Problems and Nausea
Pancreatic cancer can disrupt normal digestion, causing:
Bloating and gas
Nausea or vomiting
Indigestion
Changes in stool (pale, oily, or floating)
If these symptoms persist beyond a few days or weeks, see a healthcare professional.
5. 💉 New-Onset Diabetes
The pancreas helps regulate blood sugar. A sudden diagnosis of type 2 diabetes — especially in someone without family history or risk factors — may signal that cancer is affecting insulin production.
6. 🟤 Dark Urine and Pale Stools
When bile flow is blocked, urine may turn dark brown and stool may appear pale or greasy.
These are telltale signs of a bile duct obstruction caused by a tumor — and should be evaluated right away.
