Risk factors include smoking, which causes about 25 percent of all cases of pancreatic cancer. Other risks include being overweight, having diabetes, environmental factors, or pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas.
This cancer type disproportionately affects Black people, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer
This disease is hard to catch early because people don't generally have symptoms until it reaches later stages. Symptoms to look out for include:
Loss of appetite
Fatigue
Belly pain
Weight loss
Yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, called jaundice.
Light-colored or floating stools
Dark-colored urine

New diagnosis of diabetes or diabetes that's getting harder to control.
