Abdominal discomfort or pain that sometimes radiates to the back, especially after eating? This common symptom of pancreatic cancer can be mistaken for ordinary digestive problems. However, if it persists, it’s best to see a doctor.
Unusual digestive problems
Bloating, diarrhea, frequent indigestion… The pancreas produces important digestive enzymes. If their production is disrupted, your digestive system sends you warning signals.
Sudden onset of diabetes
A recently diagnosed diabetes, especially without a family history, can be an early sign. Since the pancreas is responsible for insulin production, cancer can disrupt this process.
Abnormal bowel movements
Light-colored, oily, or floating stools may indicate that your pancreas is no longer producing enough digestive enzymes. This is a sign you shouldn’t take lightly!
