What is Pancreatic Cancer?\u2026..<\/h2>\n

Pancreatic\u00a0\u00a0cancer<\/span>\u00a0is a disease in which malignant cells form in the pancreatic tissues. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pancreatic cancer is the 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0most common cause of cancer-related deaths, and its incidence has been increasing over the last 15 years. By 2030 it is believed that pancreatic cancer will fall shortly behind lung cancer as the second highest cause of cancer deaths.<\/p>\n

What Causes Pancreatic Cancer?<\/h2>\n
\n

While there are many risks associated with developing pancreatic cancer, researchers don\u2019t quite understand what causes these cancer cells to develop in the pancreas.<\/p>\n

Risk<\/span>\u00a0factors for developing pancreatic cancer include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Smoking<\/li>\n
  • Diabetes<\/li>\n
  • Obesity<\/li>\n
  • Chronic pancreatitis<\/li>\n
  • Certain inherited conditions

    What are the Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer?<\/h2>\n
    \n

    Early-stage pancreatic\u00a0\u00a0cancer<\/span>\u00a0can be difficult to detect because symptoms are rarely triggered until the cancer has advanced. As it grows, symptoms will begin to develop.<\/p>\n

    Anatomy<\/div>\n

    The symptoms will depend on the location of the cancer. If the tumor is in the body of the pancreas, you might experience belly or back\u00a0\u00a0pain<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0weight loss<\/span>. Pancreatic cancer of the head of the pancreas tends to cause weight loss, belly or back pain, jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), dark urine, itching, or light-colored stool.<\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, by the time symptoms develop the cancer has probably grown outside of the pancreas.<\/p>\n

    What is the Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer?<\/h2>\n
    \n

    Pancreatic\u00a0\u00a0cancer<\/span>\u00a0treatment depends on the stage of the cancer and how far it has spread. Early stages can be treated with surgery. When the tumor has spread beyond the pancreas, then surgery is not possible. Other treatment modalities such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy can extend survival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
