Testing for Pancreatic Cancer

If a person has signs or symptoms that might be caused by pancreatic cancer, there are several exams and tests that doctors will do to determine if you have it. During the physical exam, their doctor will quiz them about your medical history as well as your family's.

The doctor will then examine the patient, looking for jaundice in the eyes and skin, and checking to see if the gallbladder or liver are swollen. If anything seems abnormal, the doctor will then order further tests such as blood tests, imaging tests, and possibly even a biopsy of the pancreas.
