4. Symptoms Light-colored stools Blood clots Fatigue Itchy skin

5. Causes • Smoking cigarettes, cigars and using other forms of tobacco. • Obesity is also a risk factor. Carrying weight around the waist is a risk factor even if you do not have obesity. • Having diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, which is linked to obesity. The new development of diabetes at an older age and in someone with a normal weight or body mass index could be a sign of pancreatic cancer.

6. Treatment A total pancreatectomy involves removing the entire pancreas. While a total pancreatectomy is usually effective in relieving pain in patients when all other treatments fail, it induces permanent diabetes, requiring patients to take insulin shots or use an insulin pump for the rest of their lives.
