Imagining: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if pancreatic cancer is a concern, imaging studies would be more useful than lab tests. Wish you good health!

No: There is nothing so far in workup even to suggest a pancreatic issue, symptoms are not mentioned either, so there should be some bias as to why you even consider the possibility of pancreatic cancer.

Went to diet dr. Blood work 13 WBC with normal percentages. Absolute neutrophils 9. Absolute lymph 3.6 are these numbers signs of cancer? Pcp said no
Can a elevated WBC (14.1) high neutrophils (69%) low lymphocytes (23%) & large lymph nodes indicate cancer?
Had slightly elevated lipase (80 when normal reference range was 13-60). I'm terrified of pancreatic cancer! I'm only 33! ?
Ive had pancreatic enzymes checked a few times over the years. Lipase has never been elevated but amylase fluctuates. Ive had it as high as 300. Ive also had it just above the range and normal as well. Never pancreatitis. Could be cancer ???
I am still so anxious about having pancreatic cancer. My lipase levels have fluctuated slightly over the past year - from 1 to 20 points over the reference range. I've had normal ultrasound and CT scan. Dr seems to think it's just me. But why??
