Pancreatic cancer is a life-threatening condition that occurs when malignant cells develop in the tissues of the pancreas, often spreading rapidly before symptoms appear. Common symptoms include jaundice, unexplained weight loss, severe abdominal or back pain, nausea, loss of appetite, digestive issues, and newly developed diabetes. Since pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, treatment options depend on factors like tumor size, location, and spread. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted drug therapy are commonly used treatments. The time taken for treatment varies based on the stage of cancer and the patient’s response to therapy. Early diagnosis and intervention by a skilled gastro doctor can improve the chances of survival, alleviate symptoms, and enhance the patient's overall quality of life. Proper treatment can help control tumor growth, reduce complications, and extend life expectancy, providing better comfort and improved daily functioning for the patient.
