The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is just 10%.

Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer

The symptoms of pancreatic cancer can be vague and difficult to detect.

Some common symptoms of pancreatic cancer include:

• Abdominal pain
• Jaundice
• Weight loss
• Fatigue
• Nausea and vomiting

Risk Factors for Pancreatic Cancer

Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer

The treatment for pancreatic cancer depends on the stage of the cancer.

If the cancer has spread to other organs, chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be used to shrink the tumors and relieve symptoms.
