Q. Is fatty stool (oily, floating stool) a symptom of pancreatic cancer?
When pancreatic function is impaired, fat digestion does not occur properly, leading to steatorrhea (fatty stools). However, experiencing steatorrhea does not always mean you have pancreatic cancer. It could also be a temporary occurrence after consuming a high-fat diet.
