According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pancreatic cancer is the 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0most common cause of cancer-related deaths, and its incidence has been increasing over the last 15 years.

Pancreatic cancer of the head of the pancreas tends to cause weight loss, belly or back pain, jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), dark urine, itching, or light-colored stool.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, by the time symptoms develop the cancer has probably grown outside of the pancreas.<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"content-block__title\">What is the Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"content-block__text\">\n<p>Pancreatic\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">cancer<\/span>\u00a0treatment depends on the stage of the cancer and how far it has spread.
