Another common early symptom is pain in the upper abdomen that radiates to the back. This discomfort can feel dull and constant, and it may worsen after meals or when lying down.
What Causes the Pain?
As tumors grow, they may press on nearby nerves or organs, causing discomfort. Because abdominal pain is a common issue with many causes—such as indigestion, muscle strain, or ulcers—this warning sign is often overlooked.
3. Jaundice (Yellowing of the Skin and Eyes)
One of the most visible symptoms of pancreatic can-cer is jaundice. This condition causes the skin and the whites of the eyes to turn yellow.
Additional Symptoms of Jaundice
- Dark urine
