A member asked:
For 1+ months: upper abd pain, diarrhea, stomach gurgling, gas, would ct w/ oral & iv contrast show pancreas cancer? blood work norm. only lost 4 lbs
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT pancreas: Pancreatic cancer would be unusual at your age but no unheard of. Pancreatic CT does require IV contrast and pre and post contrast images with pancreatic arterial and portal venous phase enhanced images. Some facilities use oral contrast, others give water orally.
