Jaundice is a Sign of Pancrease Cancer
Many complications can arise with a diagnosis of pancrease cancer. Jaundice is one of the first complications associated with the disease. Most commonly found in newborn infants, it is also found in those suffering from cancer of the pancrease. You will find your skin has taken on a yellow tinge as well as the whites of your eyes. Your urine may be dark in color and your stool may be extremely light in color. A plastic stent may be inserted by your physician to hold up your bile duct to help the situation. Some doctors will perform a bypass surgery on your liver to find a new way for bile to pass.
