Symptoms of jaundice in patients with pancreatic head cancer often do not indicate a specific stage. Pancreatic head cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the head of the pancreas. Usually the end of the bile duct and the pancreatic duct share a common duct, and bile eventually flows into the duodenum via the pancreas. Therefore, pancreatic cancer can compress the pancreatic duct/bile duct, etc. resulting in poor bile drainage, which eventually leads to cholestatic jaundice. This may be manifested as yellowing of the skin and sclera, dark urine and white clay-like feces. If the tumor invades/compresses the pancreaticobiliary duct, jaundice may occur, which is mainly related to the extent of infiltration, size, and location of the primary focus, and often does not suggest a specific stage. In addition, jaundice is not necessarily caused by pancreatic head cancer, but may also be caused by other diseases, such as hepatitis, cholangiocarcinoma, etc. The more common ones are liver and gallbladder diseases. If jaundice occurs in pancreatic head cancer patients, they should go to the hospital in time, cooperate with doctors for examination, find out the cause and then take targeted treatment.
