Cancer of the head of the pancreas presents with jaundice, often with epigastric or back discomfort. Later in the clinical course, other symptoms of cholestatic jaundice such as itching, pale stools, and dark urine occur. Anorexia and weight loss are common. Tumours of the body and tail of the pancreas present more insidiously and are often recognized only when distal spread of the disease has occurred.
