A member asked:
Does pain from pancreatic cancer exhibit itself in the middle of the back, or can it be on my left side right below the shoulder blade?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Depending on which nerves the cancer invades. But this kind of pain is a sign of locally advanced cancer, and not particularly helpful for early diagnosis. Consult your doctor about your pain, because it is likely caused by something else.
