Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer often causes obstruction of the lower end of the bile duct (which goes though the head of the pancreas), which causes jaundice, itchiness and pale coloured stools. Other symptoms include loss of appetite, weight loss, pain, and fatigue. These symptoms can also occur in other non-cancerous conditions. Pancreatic cancer is usually diagnosed with radiology tests such as ultrasound, CT scan or MRI scan. A biopsy is sometimes needed.
