Risks and Symptoms
Are you worried that you are at risk for getting pancreatic cancer? Or maybe you have unexplained symptoms like abdominal pain, back pain, stomach pain after eating, or indigestion.
Pancreatic cancer is most often diagnosed at a late stage of disease. Learn more about the symptoms, the major risk factors, and ways you can be proactive by joining a pancreatic cancer screening and find out whether you need to be part of a screening program.
Know the Symptoms
The symptoms of pancreatic cancer mimic many other less serious conditions. What are the typical symptoms of pancreatic cancer? When should you be concerned that something more serious is developing? Learn more about what to look for.
Diabetes and Pancreatic Cancer
If you are living with diabetes or prediabetes, you may have heard that there is a link between diabetes and pancreatic cancer. Learn more about the connection between these diseases and what the latest research shows.
Family History and Genetic Mutations
Pancreatic cancer can run in families. Some families have a known genetic mutation, but there are also families with a striking number of pancreatic cancer cases, but no known mutation. What does that mean for you and your family?
Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is a painful inflammation of the pancreas. It can occur suddenly or it may be chronic. What is the relationship between pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer? If you have pancreatitis, learn about the risk of developing pancreatic cancer?
Pancreatic Cysts
Pancreatic cysts are fairly common, but very few develop into cancer. Current research is focused on determining which ones are more likely to become cancerous. Learn how to monitor your pancreatic cancer risk if you have a cyst.
Screening and Early Detection
Although there is no recommended screening or early detection tests for pancreatic cancer, scientists are investing significant time into finding one. Learn more about the latest research, and how people at higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer are currently being monitored.
