The pancreas is a large gland responsible for the production of digestive juices and hormones located in the top part of your tummy, just behind your stomach.<\/p>\n

Pancreatic cancer is a form of cancer that starts in the pancreas as a result of abnormal growth of cells in this gland. It is the tenth most common cancer\u00a0 in the UK.<\/p>\n

Sadly, it is rarely caught at an early stage since the symptoms are not manifested until it progresses beyond the point of early intervention.<\/p>\n

It is usually when the cancer reaches more advanced stage that certain symptoms start to become noticeable. But even then, they can be vague and similar to those caused by a number of other conditions.<\/p>\n

The symptoms vary depending on what part of the pancreas \u2014 the head, body or tail\u00a0\u2014 the cancer develops.<\/h2>\n

The most common type of pancreatic cancer is ductal adenocarcinoma which starts in the cells that produce digestive juices.<\/p>\n

Some of the most common signs, as described by Cancer researshes\u00a0are as follows:<\/p>\n

Pain in the stomach or\u00a0back<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Chronic or unexplained abdominal pain that can spread to the back may be a sign of pancreatic cancer. This pain is especially felt after eating.<\/p>\n

At the early stages, the pain may come and go, but as the tumor grows larger it tends to be more constant and last longer.<\/p>\n

Jaundice<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A number of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer have jaundice\u2014yellowing of the skin and eyes resulting in the buildup of bilirubin, a pigment produced by the liver.<\/p>\n

This happens because the tumour blocks the bile duct.<\/p>\n\n
