Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which normal cells in the pancreas malfunction and begins to grow uncontrollably. These cancerous cells can eventually interfere with proper functioning of the pancreas and spread to other parts of the body. The pancreas is a pear-shaped gland located in the abdomen between the stomach and the spine. It is about 6 inches in length and is composed of two major components: exocrine and endocrine. The exocrine component, made up of ducts and acini (small sacs on the end of the ducts), produce enzymes, which are specialized proteins released into the small intestine that help the body digest and break down food, particularly fats. It is the cells lining these pancreatic ducts that most frequently turn cancerous. These are called ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas and represent the most common subtype of pancreatic cancer. It is important to distinguish neuroendocrine tumors from adenocarcinomas of the pancreas because the tumors act very differently. Pancreatic cancer often does not cause specific symptoms early on in its development; pancreatic cancers may not be detected until the cancer has metastasized beyond the pancreas to other areas of the body, such as the liver, lungs, or the peritoneum. The risk of developing pancreatic cancer increases with age. Most cases occur in people older than 60. More men are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer than women. Sometimes, people with pancreatic cancer do not show any of these symptoms. Doctors often refer to pancreatic cancer as a silent disease because it usually does not cause any symptoms in the beginning. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include Yellow skin and eyes, darkening of the urine, itching and clay-colored stool, which are signs of obstructive jaundice that may occur during the early stage of the disease, pain in upper abdomen or upper back, burning feeling in stomach or other gastrointestinal discomforts, floating stools with a particularly bad odor, due to malabsorption of fats, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, weight loss with no known explanation. The treatment of pancreatic cancer depends on the size and location of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread, and the person's overall health.
