What Should I Know about Pancreatic Cancer?<\/p>\n

There were approximately 67,440 diagnoses of pancreatic cancer last year. The five-year survival rate is 13.3 percent, according to the National Cancer Institute<\/a> (NCI).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This cancer type disproportionately affects Black people, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer<\/p>\n

This disease is hard to catch early because people don’t generally have symptoms until it reaches later stages. Symptoms<\/a> to look out for include:<\/p>\n

Yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, called jaundice.<\/p>\n

Light-colored or floating stools<\/p>\n

New diagnosis of diabetes or diabetes that’s getting harder to control.<\/p>\n

Pain and swelling in an arm or leg, which might be caused by a blood clot<\/p>\n
