A member asked:
If pancreatic cancer was the cause of urq disc in 34yr would it be advanced enough not to be missed on ct scanw contrast?test normal but still worried
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not : Symptomatic pancreatic cancer is usually easy to detect by ct. A normal scan, especially in a 34 year old, makes pancreatic cancer very unlikely. There are, however many other mire common causes of abd pain such as gallbladder disease and ulcers that are not well detected by ct. If pain persists see you physician for additional testing.
