Pancreatic Cancer

The pancreas is an important organ located in the abdomen, behind the lower part of the stomach. It plays a vital role in the body by producing digestive enzymes that help break down food and hormones such as insulin that regulate blood sugar levels.

Pancreatic cancer develops when abnormal cells begin to grow in the tissues of the pancreas. While the pancreas can develop both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors, the most common form of pancreatic cancer is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This type of cancer originates in the cells lining the ducts that carry digestive enzymes from the pancreas to the small intestine.

Pancreatic cancer often progresses without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making early diagnosis challenging. Timely detection, accurate diagnosis, and specialized treatment are essential for improving patient outcomes.
