Overview

Pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the pancreas, the organ responsible for the production of hormones and digestive juices that help the body process food. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive and lethal forms of cancer, with only 5-10% of patients surviving five years after diagnosis. Treatment options range from chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery, depending on the stage and extent of the cancer. Early detection is important as it increases the chances of successful treatment. Pancreatic cancer can be detected through imaging tests, blood tests, and tissue biopsies. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding high-risk behaviours such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can help reduce the risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
