A member asked:
If symptoms caused by pancreatic cancer i.e. urge to vomit, back, side, and ulq pain, and weight loss, would an abdominal ct w/contrast detect it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: If the nausea was from obstruction, then yes. If from some other causes, no. I would discuss with your oncologist.
