A member asked:
If pancreatic cancer was to cause increased ferritin levels, what would the actual levels be? outside the reference range?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Note reliable: Increased Blood Ferritin levels do not help in making a diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer. So do not rely on it. There are many better imaging tests like Ct scan of the abdomen to make this diagnosis.
