Would symptoms from a pancreatic andenocarinoma be different from a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor? for example, does 1 typically present with one set of symptoms that is different than the other?

This will depend on which neuroendocrine tumor one has. I would recommend spending a few $ and enroll in uptodate.com. Read all about it and then discuss with your Dr.

Most pancreatic cancers are diagnosed in people over 70 and are extremely rare below 55 but are deadly because they don't produce symptoms until they metastasize (spread) to the liver or elsewhere. Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors sometimes produce excess hormone and are found that way but the ones that metastasize usually don't make extra hormone and their detection is the same as adenocarcinoma
