A member asked:

Can abdom. pain, enlarged spleen, low wbc and platelets and swelling near the spine be early symptoms of cancer or some prob. of the pancreas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes they may or not: You need to consult a hematologist or oncologist. Enlargement of spleen can be due to chronic blood disorders or it can be due to blood cancer. So you need to have an evaluation by a blood cancer specialist to sort out what is causing you all of this problem.
