7. Testing
If a patient exhibits signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer, there are multiple tests that doctors will administer to try and narrow down the possibilities of causes. First, you will most likely have a physical exam and go over your medical history to communicate all your worries to your physician. Depending on what they find, they might choose imaging testing like an MRI, Ultrasound, or CAT scan to try and get a physical image of what’s going on inside. They also use tests like these to see if treatment is working and/or if the cancer has spread.
