Pancreatic Cancer Hospital: Your Partner in Battling Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most challenging forms of cancer, known for its late diagnosis and aggressive nature. At our pancreatic cancer hospital, we understand the difficulties that patients and families face. Our mission is to provide exceptional care and advanced treatment options for all those affected by this disease.

Understanding Pancreatic Cancer

Before we delve into our offerings, it's essential to understand what pancreatic cancer entails. This type of cancer originates in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ that plays a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. The most common type is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, which often goes undetected until it has progressed to an advanced stage.

Types of Pancreatic Cancer

• Exocrine Tumors: These are the most prevalent type, making up around 95% of pancreatic cancers.
• Endocrine Tumors: Also known as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, these are rarer and can be functional (producing hormones) or non-functional.
• Acinar Cell Carcinoma: A rare type that forms in the acinar cells of the pancreas which produce digestive enzymes.

Symptoms to Watch For

Early detection significantly impacts the effectiveness of treatment. Symptoms of pancreatic cancer may include:

• Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin and eyes, indicating bile duct obstruction.
• Abdominal Pain: Persistent pain radiating to the back.
• Unexplained Weight Loss: Significant weight loss without trying.
• Loss of Appetite: A noticeable decrease in appetite and food intake.
• Changes in Stool: Fatty, foul-smelling stools or lighter-colored stools.
