PANCREATIC
CANCER
Pancreatic cancer begins when abnormal cells in
the pancreas grow and divide out of control and form a
tumor.
The pancreas is a gland located deep in the abdomen,
between the stomach and the spine. It makes enzymes that
help digestion and hormones that control blood-sugar levels.

dark yellow-brown substance made by the
liver.

LIVER
ENLARGEMENT

If the cancer blocks the bile duct, bile can build up
in the gallbladder, making it larger.
Pancreatic cancer can also sometimes enlarge the
liver, especially if the cancer has spread there.

6.
NAUSEA AND VOMITING
The cancer can press on the far end of the stomach
and partially block it, making it hard for food to pass.
This may cause nausea, vomiting and pain after
eating.
