What is Pancreatic Cancer?
The pancreas is a vital organ located in the abdomen, responsible for producing digestive enzymes and regulating blood sugar levels through insulin production. Pancreatic cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, forming tumors. The most common type, adenocarcinoma, accounts for approximately 95% of cases and originates in the ducts that carry digestive fluids from the pancreas to the small intestine. Other forms include neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which grow more slowly, and cystic tumors, which may become cancerous over time.
