A member asked:

Would untreated pancreatic cancer progress rapidly in a year? tests normal and gi doc didn' t seem concernd but still worried. symptoms unchanged.

Usually: Pancreatic cancer is usually an aggressive malignancy with a fairly rapid course, even with therapy; with no therapy it is expected to progress quickly. If i were asked about a patient who remained well a year after diagnosis i would question the diagnosis. If your GI doctor is unconcerned perhaps he/she knows it is a different diagnosis. Ask for clarification.

See surgeon : With diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, need to see a surgeon to determine if surgery is possible.
