Pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is a malignant neoplasm arising from the tissues of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach that produces enzymes for digestion and hormones like insulin. The most common type is adenocarcinoma, originating from the exocrine cells. It is often aggressive, frequently diagnosed at advanced stages, and characterized by rapid progression. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, jaundice, weight loss, and new-onset diabetes. Early detection is challenging, making prognosis generally poor.
