Second: jaundice: jaundice is an important symptom of pancreatic cancer, especially pancreatic head cancer. Jaundice is obstructive, accompanied by dark yellow urine and clay like stool, which is caused by the invasion or compression of the lower end of the common bile duct. Jaundice is progressive, although there may be slight fluctuations, but it can not completely subside. The temporary relief of jaundice is related to the disappearance of inflammation around the ampulla in the early stage. In the late stage, jaundice caused by ampullary tumors is more likely to fluctuate due to the ulceration and decaying of the tumor invading the lower end of the common bile duct.
