About Pancreatic Cancer in Kolkata
Pancreatic Cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the pancreas, an organ that lies behind the stomach and plays a key role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It is notoriously difficult to detect early because the pancreas is deep within the abdomen and symptoms often don't appear until the cancer has grown large or spread to other organs. This late diagnosis contributes to it being one of the most aggressive and lethal forms of cancer. The disease can affect either the exocrine cells that produce digestive enzymes or, less commonly, the hormone-producing endocrine cells.
