Pancreatic Cancer


 

Pancreatic cancer is a serious and often aggressive form of cancer that originates in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It typically doesn‘t cause symptoms in its early stages, which can make it difficult to detect. As the cancer progresses, symptoms may include abdominal pain that radiates to the back, unintended weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and digestive problems. Treatment options depend on the stage and location of the cancer but may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes in pancreatic cancer patients.
