What Is Pancreatic Cancer?
4. Complications
In addition to the symptoms mentioned, pancreatic cancer will go on to develop severe complications. One of these is that as the tumor grows, it will begin to put pressure on surrounding tissues. This includes pressure on surrounding nerves, and this can become extremely painful for the patient.
Pancreatic cancer can also cause blockages of the digestive system, which can also be very dangerous. As the cancer spreads, it can begin to take over other nearby organs, including the liver. This will cause the liver to begin to fail, and liver failure is the most common cause of death in patients with pancreatic cancer.
