Pancreatic Cancer: Look For These Signs Now

Feeling Full Quickly

The sensation of feeling full quickly is a common symptom of pancreatic cancer. There are a few reasons a pancreatic cancer patient may feel this sensation. If the malignant pancreatic tumor blocks the bile duct, bile can build up in both the liver and gallbladder. Both organs tend to become enlarged when they are engorged with excessive amounts of bile. The spread of the tumor from the pancreas to the liver can also cause it to become enlarged. This organ enlargement puts increased pressure on the surrounding organs including the stomach. An individual will feel full quickly as a result of this abnormal pressure on their stomach. A malignant and aggressive tumor that begins in the body of the pancreas can rapidly grow large enough to press on the stomach and other surrounding organs. In addition, fluid may build up in the abdominal cavity as a result of the inflammation pancreatic cancer causes to the peritoneum. The accumulation of fluid in the abdomen may cause an affected individual to feel full quickly as well.
