Pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect early, especially when it affects the body or tail of the pancreas, as symptoms often don't appear until significant weight loss occurs. However, when the cancer is in the head of the pancreas, early detection is more likely due to symptoms like jaundice. This happens because the tumour can compress the bile duct, leading to a blockage that causes yellowing of the skin and eyes. Early recognition is thus more feasible in cases where the tumour is in the head, making symptom awareness crucial for timely diagnosis.

Dr. Rajesh, Gastrosurgeon, Advanced Laparoscopic Bariatric HPB, and Robotics Surgeon working at KIMS Hospital, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, explains how tumour location affects the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
