Understanding Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer begins in the pancreas, an essential organ located behind the stomach. It is responsible for producing enzymes that aid digestion and hormones that regulate blood sugar. The most common type is adenocarcinoma, which arises in the cells lining the pancreatic ducts. Less common types include neuroendocrine tumors.

Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer:

  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
  • Abdominal or back pain
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Changes in stool consistency
  • Fatigue

Early symptoms can be vague, making it crucial to consult an experienced specialist like Dr. Sumant Gupta for an accurate diagnosis if you suspect pancreatic cancer.
