When doctors usually detect pancreatic cancer, the tumor or cancer in the pancreas has advanced and becomes quite difficult to treat. This is because the tumor or cancer may grow without any symptoms at first. The symptoms only began to show when the cancer begins to spread around the body.
"Pancreatic cancer in the head of the pancreas tends to cause symptoms such as weight loss, yellow skin, dark urine, light stool color, itching, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, back pain, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck.Pancreatic cancer in the body or tail of the pancreas usually causes belly and/or back pain and weight loss."
