10 Common Signs of Pancreatic Cancer

Diarrhea

Diarrhea would happen with many forms of pancreatic cancer, especially the VIPoma. This uncommon condition releases VIP or vasoactive intestinal peptide, a substance that can send more water and fluids to the digestive system. This excessive amount of water in the intestines would eventually result in watery and severe diarrhea. Another possible cause is that pancreatic cancer would prevent your body from absorbing nutrients properly from consumed foods, which could also lead to diarrhea. [3]
