What are the symptoms of ampullary cancer?

People with ampullary cancer usually develop jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin). This is because the tumor can block the bile duct. As a result, bile is unable to move into the intestines and goes into the blood instead. Other ampullary cancer symptoms include:

• Weight loss.
• Loss of appetite.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Abdominal pain.
• Back pain.
• Itchy skin.
• Fever.
• Diarrhea.
• Anemia.
• Pancreatitis.
• Clay-colored stools (poop).
• Rectal bleeding.
