Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Week | Symbiosis Speciality Hospital

Pancreatic cancer begins in the cells of the pancreas – an organ in the abdomen that lies behind the lower part of the stomach.
Forms : There are two forms of pancreatic cancer: exocrine #pancreatic cancer, which accounts for approximately 95 percent of all cases, and endocrine or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, also called islet cell tumors.

Causes: Smoking, being overweight, having diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, and certain hereditary conditions are risk factors for pancreatic cancer.

Awareness: On World Pancreatic Cancer Day, loved ones, communities and #organizations around the world #unite to shine a light on pancreatic cancer and share our universal message that it's about time we all know the symptoms!
