Can you tell me what the signs of a pancreas not working and/or of pancreatic cancer are?

Many: There are several symptoms. You can have diarrhea, upper abdominal pain, nausea. Itching? Weight loss.

Steatorrhea: The pancreas is both endocrine and exocrine. When the islets are not working, diseases like diabetes develop. When the gland undergoes inflammation and fibrosis, no pancreatic juice enters the bowel and food is not digested leaving large amts. of fat floating in the stool. Pancreatic cancer does block the duct and has a subclinical form of steatorrhea but his is most often seen with jaundice.
