Pancreatic cancer, a formidable malignancy, develops in the pancreas' tissues, often with few early symptoms. Risk factors include smoking, family history, and obesity. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, jaundice, and unexplained weight loss may manifest later. Diagnosis involves imaging tests, biopsies, and blood tests. Treatment options depend on cancer stage and may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Prognosis is often poor due to late detection and limited treatment options. Research into new therapies and early detection methods is ongoing to improve outcomes for those affected by pancreatic cancer.
