Serious Options For Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

When a mutation occurs in the cellular DNA of cells that form the pancreas that impacts the way they grow, differentiate, multiply, and or die, pancreatic cancer can develop. There are two types of pancreatic cancer. An exocrine tumor is the most common and happens when carcinogenesis takes place in the pancreatic cells responsible for producing digestive enzymes. Neuroendocrine tumors are rare and occur when carcinogenesis takes place in the pancreatic cells that are responsible for the production of hormones. Symptoms of pancreatic cancer include nausea, stool changes, pancreatitis, appetite loss, jaundice, weight loss, and abdominal pain.
