Pancreatic Cancer | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?

  • jaundice, or yellowing of the skin and eyes
  • nausea and vomiting
  • pain in the middle to upper part of the abdomen that may spread to the back
