What is pancreatic cancer?
According to reports, about 97% of people with pancreatic cancer die less than five years after their first diagnosis. The disease claims over 50,000 lives in America every year. The problem is related to the pancreas, a flat organ tucked at the back of the stomach.
The head of the pancreas is to the right of the abdomen behind where the stomach and small intestine meet, and the most common type of cancer in this organ is adenocarcinoma. The problem occurs when exocrine cells begin to grow out of control. It can sometimes start with unchecked pancreatitis or other problems related to the organ.
