Early-stage pancreatic cancer often has no symptoms. At a more advanced stage, symptoms of pancreatic cancer may include jaundice, unexplained weight loss, nausea and upper abdominal pain.
Imaging tests such as CT scans, MRIs and endoscopic ultrasounds and procedures like biopsies are used to diagnose pancreatic cancer and determine the stage of the cancer (how advanced it is).
Treatment options depend on the cancer's type, size, and stage. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and supportive care or a combination of these treatments.
