Pancreatic tumors can activate clotting by releasing tissue factor and mucin proteins into blood. Pulmonary embolism symptoms require emergency services immediately. Pancreatic cancer produces Trousseau's syndrome at one of the highest rates among solid tumors. Venous thromboembolism is estimated to affect 10% to 20% of pancreatic cancer patients. A clot can appear before pancreatic cancer has been diagnosed.
