Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect in its early stages. The signs and symptoms often don't occur until the disease is advanced. When symptoms do appear, they may include:

• Upper abdominal pain that may radiate to your middle or upper back.

Among smokers age 35 to 69 smoking accounts for a three fold increase in the death rate, and approximately half of all regular smokers that begin smoking during adolescence will be killed by tobacco.
