Ben Feigin’s cause of death explored
Ben Feigin died of pancreatic cancer, but it is unclear how long he had the disease. Meanwhile, it has not been determined whether Ben died in a hospital or at home, and more information is awaited.
Pancreatic cancer develops from pancreatic tissues. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes as well as hormones that aid in blood sugar management. Pancreatic cancer begins in the cells that line the ducts that transport digestive enzymes from the pancreas.
The disease is usually detected early on and is easily treatable. Its symptoms include back pain, weight loss, skin yellowing and whites in the eyes, light-colored stools, dark-colored urine, itchy skin, blood clots, and fatigue. However, the cancer does shows any symptoms if it spreads to other organs.
The cancer can be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and a combination of these, depending on the extent of its spread.
