Pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the pancreas, which is a gland located behind the stomach. The pancreas plays a crucial role in digestion and hormone production.
Pancreatic cancer is often difficult to detect in its early stages, as it usually does not cause noticeable symptoms until it has spread to other organs. Common symptoms may include abdominal pain, unintended weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), loss of appe****e, and fatigue.
