Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Your chief complaints are that of weight loss, low grade fever, difficult swallowing, and feeling of vomiting. These symptoms suggest a malignant process. The symptoms indicate a problem in the gastrointestinal tract however, they are not specific for pancreatic cancer. A upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy is required to look for status of the esophagus and stomach. The MRCP is done to investigate the biliary tract and the pancreatic ducts. This investigation can be combined with upper GI-endoscopy. The management will be decided after the results of reports are obtained. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
