Pancreatic Cancer ICD-10-CM Codes

Early-stage pancreatic cancer often doesn't show symptoms. However, as it advances, it can cause jaundice, back or abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and digestive issues.

Life expectancy for pancreatic cancer can vary widely and depends on many factors, including the stage at diagnosis, the individual's overall health, and the treatment received.

Early detection significantly improves the prognosis for pancreatic cancer. Surgical removal can potentially cure the disease if caught early enough and if the tumor is localized to the pancreas.
