Detection and Diagnosis
Detecting and diagnosing pancreatic cancer can be difficult, especially because the symptoms are not always obvious, often develop gradually, and can be mistaken for other conditions.
At times, pancreatic tumors are found incidentally when a patient is exploring another medical condition.
If pancreatic cancer is suspected, there are a variety of tests your doctor may perform.
After assessing your situation, your doctor may then perform blood tests, order imaging studies, and/or biopsy the mass.
These tests will help your doctor arrive at the most accurate diagnosis and help to direct your treatment plan.
