Is Pancreatic Cancer Related With Rectal Bleeding?
My husband has been bleeding from his rectum every time he goes to the bathroom. It seems to be getting worse instead of better. He has prostate cancer and is currently being seen by a doctor. Could this be Pancreatic Cancer and is that hereditary? Any suggestions or answers?

Hi,
If the cancer spreads to the rectum then it can cause bleeding.
However your husband needs a rectal examination to rule out any hemorrhoids that can be present locally which can cause bleeding.
