    Early pancreatic cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, symptoms can include:

    Persistent upper abdominal pain or back pain.

    Unexplained weight loss or reduced appetite.

    Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

    Dark urine and pale stools.

    New-onset diabetes or sudden worsening of diabetes.

    Fatigue and weakness.

    Nausea, bloating, or changes in bowel habits.

    Itching related to jaundice.

    These symptoms are not specific to pancreatic cancer, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be medically assessed.
