Pancreatic Tumors

Pancreatic tumors are abnormal growths that form in the pancreas, an organ behind the stomach that helps digest food and regulate blood sugar. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Pancreatic cancer is often aggressive and may not cause symptoms early on, making it difficult to detect. Common signs include jaundice, abdominal pain, weight loss, and digestive problems. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and biopsies. Treatment options depend on the tumor type and stage but may include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes.
