Early pancreatic cancers often do not cause any signs or symptoms. Symptoms include jaundice, which may cause yellowing of the skin/eyes, dark urine, light-colored or greasy stools or itchy skin. Other symptoms include abdominal or back pain, unintended weight loss, poor appetite, nausea/vomiting and blood clot in a large vein.1
The average age of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is 70 years old. Smoking is thought to cause ~25% of pancreatic cancers. Other risk factors associated with pancreatic cancer include being overweight and chronic pancreatitis.2
Connecting with other people that have pancreatic cancer through an online support group led by a social worker, in person support group and/or one-to-one matching with a peer can help you learn about your condition and provide you with support.
