PANCREATIC CANCER
WHAT IS PANCREATIC CANCER
Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor that arises in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ located in the abdomen. It is known for its aggressive nature and tendency to spread rapidly.
Symptoms may not appear until the cancer has advanced, making early detection challenging. Risk factors include smoking, obesity, family history, and certain genetic conditions.
Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The prognosis for pancreatic cancer is often poor, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness, early diagnosis, and ongoing research for improved treatment strategies.

Common symptoms of pancreatic cancer include abdominal pain or discomfort, unexplained weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), digestive problems, fatigue, and changes in bowel movements.
Diagnosis of pancreatic cancer typically involves a combination of imaging tests, such as CT scan or MRI, to visualize the pancreas and detect any abnormalities. Additionally, a biopsy may be performed to obtain a tissue sample for further examination and confirmation of cancer.
Treatment options for pancreatic cancer depend on factors like the stage of cancer and the overall health of the patient. Common treatment approaches may include surgery to remove the tumor, chemotherapy to kill cancer cells, radiation therapy to target and destroy cancer cells, targeted therapy to block specific molecules involved in cancer growth, and immunotherapy to boost the immune system's response against cancer cells.
The prognosis for pancreatic cancer is often poor, as it is typically diagnosed at an advanced stage. However, outcomes vary based on factors such as the stage of cancer, response to treatment, and overall health of the patient. Early detection, prompt treatment, and ongoing research for improved therapies are crucial for better prognosis and patient outcomes.
