What is Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer occurs when malignant cells form in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach that aids in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It is known for being particularly aggressive and often diagnosed at a late stage due to subtle early symptoms.

Types of Pancreatic Cancer

  • Exocrine Tumors

    The most common type, including adenocarcinoma, which originates in the ducts of the pancreas.

  • Endocrine Tumors

    Less common, also known as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs), arising from hormone-producing cells.

Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer

  • Early Stage

    Often asymptomatic or non-specific symptoms like abdominal pain, weight loss, loss of appetite, and fatigue.

  • Advanced Stage

    Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, light-colored stools, back pain, and new-onset diabetes.

Staging of Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer is staged based on the size of the tumor and its spread

  • Stage 0

    Cancer is confined to the top layers of pancreatic duct cells.

  • Stage I

    Limited to the pancreas.

  • Stage II

    Spread to nearby tissues and possibly lymph nodes.

  • Stage III

    Spread to major blood vessels around the pancreas.

  • Stage IV

    Spread to distant organs (metastasis).

FAQ’S

Can GERD be cured?
Absolutely, GERD can certainly be treated. The typical approach to managing Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease involves taking medication to reduce the acid in your stomach. If making changes to your lifestyle doesn’t bring relief, your doctor might suggest surgical options.
Is GERD a serious problem?
GERD is usually treated with medication. If left untreated, it can cause damage to the tissue lining the esophagus, leading to inflammation and pain. In adults, long-term untreated GERD can result in permanent damage to the esophagus.
How long will GERD last?
When stomach acid travels back up the esophagus, it can reach the throat and mouth, possibly causing a sour taste. GERD is a medical condition where acidic stomach fluids leak into the esophagus. Minor cases of GERD can heal in less than a month, while moderate cases may require 6 to 12 weeks of treatment.
