A tumor or cancer in the pancreas may often grow without any symptoms at first. This may mean pancreatic cancer is more advanced when it is first found.
Early symptoms of pancreatic cancer include:
Pain or discomfort in the upper part of the belly or abdomen
Loss of appetite and weight loss
Jaundice (a yellow color in the skin, mucus membranes, or the eyes)
Dark urine and clay-colored stools
Fatigue and weakness
Nausea and vomiting
Other possible symptoms are:
Back pain
Blood clots
Depression
Diarrhea
Difficulty sleeping
Indigestion
Cancer Term:(malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth, invasion that intrudes upon and destroys adjacent tissues, and sometimes metastasis, or spreading to other locations in the body via lymph or blood. These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which do not invade or metastasize. Cancer-ar-foundation
