A member asked:
Intermittent ache under rib cage. stomach ache after eating. for few weeks. what could be the cause? scared of pancreatic cancer!!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too young for cancer: You should consult your doctor if the pain does not go away in 2 weeks. Pancreatic Cancer is not the likely cause in your case as it is extremely rare under the age of 40 years.
