Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer develops when malignant cells form in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ crucial for digestion and blood sugar regulation. Often diagnosed late due to the absence of early symptoms, it is a evil cancer to treat. Common symptoms include jaundice, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fatigue. Treatment options vary by stage and may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Early detection and proactive treatment are vital for improving outcomes and quality of life.
