PANCREATIC CANCER
When cancer cells starts forming in the
tissues of your pancreas, it is known as pancreatic cancer. Arising from the
pancreatic duct cells, this carcinoma is generally an adenocarcinoma. Damage to
the genes causes pancreatic cancer, but the reason for this damage is still not
exactly clear. However, it might be linked with exposure to carcinogens such
as; food high in protein and fat, cigarettes and food additives.
It is even believed that people who eat
less fruits and vegetables have a more risk of developing this condition. Obesity
too sometimes can act as a catalyst. Exposure to radiation and certain
chemicals such as nickel, pesticides, iron and chromium can also be
contributing factors to the development of pancreatic cancer.
Some common symptoms of this condition
include low back/abdominal pain, weight loss, diarrhoea and jaundice. Other
general effects are depression, anxiety, skin lesions and fever. It is not that
easy to diagnose pancreatic cancer. This is the reason why it seldom gets
detected in its early stages.
The location and stage of the cancer
decides what treatment plan has to be followed. Surgery, chemotherapy and
radiation therapies either individually or combinedly are suggested by the
doctor after proper diagnosis.
