What are the usual indicators of pancreatic cancer?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on location: But pain and jaundice. Unless the cancer is located in the head of pancreas, symptoms appear late, this is one of the main problems with this cancer.

Vague symptoms: Weight loss, bloating, early satiety are vague symptoms and only later when profound weight loss, and back pain or jaundice occur does it come to attention.
