Pancreatic cancer is sometimes called a "silent disease" because
early pancreatic cancer often does not cause symptoms. But, as
the cancer grows, symptoms may include: - Pain in the upper
abdomen or upper back - Yellow skin and eyes, and dark urine
from jaundice - Loss of appetite - Nausea and vomiting - Weight
loss These symptoms are not sure signs of pancreatic cancer. An
infection or other problem could also cause these symptoms. Only
a doctor can diagnose the cause of a person's symptoms. Anyone
with these symptoms should see a doctor so that the doctor can
treat any problem as early as possible.
