- Pain
Abstract Chronic intractable pain is a common problem in severe pancreatic disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Symptoms of pancreatic insufficiency Symptoms may include: abdominal pain and tenderness loss of appetite feelings of fullness weight loss and diarrhea Pancreatic insufficiency may also cause bone pain and muscle cramps. [ddc.musc.edu]
Occasionally a problem develops when the patient becomes dependent on, or even addicted to, narcotic pain medicines used to control symptoms. In rare cases, surgery is recommended to provide relief of pain. [gicare.com]
- Inflammation
Abstract Chronic inflammation, fibrosis, atrophy, malignant transformation, and thromboembolic events are hallmarks of chronic pancreatic disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pancreatic diseases include: Pancreatitis [ edit ] Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. [en.wikipedia.org]
"They can also be caused by conditions such as pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), gallstones, irritable bowel syndrome, or hepatitis (inflammation of the liver).” [express.co.uk]
The pancreas may become damaged by: recurring inflammation of the pancreas previous pancreatic surgery it is rarely caused by cancer Additionally, there are genetic factors that may cause damage to the pancreas: cystic fibrosis, a disease damages glandular [ddc.musc.edu]
- Surgical Procedure
Abstract Although open surgical procedures remain the standard for both benign and malignant diseases of the pancreas, in recent years a wide variety of surgical procedures performed on the pancreas have been completed laparoscopically. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Some surgical procedures are performed to help with symptoms when pancreatic cancer cannot be completely removed. A metal tube or stent can be placed into the bile duct to prevent or relieve a blockage. [medbroadcast.com]
The three main surgical procedures that can help people with pancreatic cancer are: Whipple procedure : This most common if cancer affects the head of the pancreas. [medicalnewstoday.com]
- Malaise
Such symptoms can include: Weight loss Malaise Loss of appetite Elevated blood sugars. Some people with pancreatic cancer develop diabetes as the cancer impairs the pancreas' ability to produce insulin. [webmd.com]
Patients may complain of malaise, vomiting, constipation, flatulence or bloating, unintentional weight loss or painless jaundice. In fact, 70% of patients will present with these complaints. [clinicaladvisor.com]
