What is Pancreatic Cancer?
Pancreatic cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the pancreas, an organ responsible for producing digestive enzymes and insulin. Although relatively less common, it is considered one of the more aggressive cancers because it often goes undetected in its early stages.
- Risk factors like smoking, chronic pancreatitis, obesity, and diabetes contribute to rising cases.
- With early diagnosis, advanced treatments, and expert medical guidance, many patients can improve their outcomes and maintain quality of life.
