Pancreatic Cancer

What are the signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer?

  • Indigestion which is a painful, burning feeling in your chest, upper tummy or throat.
  • Tummy pain or back pain are common symptoms. The pain may start as discomfort in the upper tummy and spread to the back.
  • Changes to poo, including diarrhoea (runny poo), constipation (when you find it harder to poo) and pale, oily, smelly poo that’s hard to flush (steatorrhoea).
  • Unexplained weight loss – losing a lot of weight without meaning to.
  • Jaundice, which causes yellow skin and eyes, dark pee, pale poo and itchy skin.
  • Losing your appetite.
  • Recently diagnosed diabetes, which is a condition where the amount of sugar in the blood (blood sugar level) is too high.
  • Problems digesting your food, which causes bloating, lots of wind, burping, and feeling full up quickly.
  • Feeling or being sick (nausea and vomiting).
  • Blood clots in a vein (deep vein thrombosis or DVT).
  • Fatigue, which is feeling very tired all the time, even if you rest.
  • Less common symptoms of pancreatic cancer include fever, shivering, and generally feeling unwell, and depression or anxiety without any obvious cause.
