Mild Pancreatitis
My brother had slight pain in his left abdomen and it radiated to the back about 2 weeks ago. The pain kept getting worse so he got an ultrasound and CT scan a few days back. It was mild Pancreatitis. The results showed a mild heterogeneous enhancement at the tail region. He is having trouble eating and sleeping. He lost about 5 kg weight in these few days for not eating well. Need urgent advice. Is this just Pancreatitis or a sign of pancreatic cancer?

Cancer diagnosis doesn't come from CT Scan. It is a diagnosis after the operation (if he is operated). Please share his blood reports.
You didn't mention the age of your brother.
