Belly & Back Pain
Pain in the abdomen that usually radiates to the back is another clue for pancreatic cancer. The American Cancer Institute suggested that cancers which start in the tail, or body of pancreas when becoming fairly large, start to put pressure over nearby organs and causes pain. It generally, starts in the form of a common discomfort, pain or tenderness within the abdomen area. This cancer also spread towards the nerves that surround pancreas and leads towards back pain. However, the belly or back pain can also be associated with a number of other diseases as well. This must be considered in relation to other warning signs when detecting pancreatic cancer as some patients may not feel pain in the case of pancreatic cancer and others can feel severe.
This factor varies for each individual, for instance; it might come as the first symptom or become more constant with time. It may become worse when lying down while sitting forward can make it better. Sometimes, it may become worse right after eating.
