What is Pancreatic Cancer?
According to a medical definition, pancreatic cancer is defined as the fast growth and division of abnormal cells in the pancreas. The pancreas’ ability to produce hormones normally is hampered or digestion is inhibited when these cells continue to develop and divide. The fact that this condition frequently goes unnoticed until it has reached advanced stages is what makes it dangerous. It is nearly impossible to recognize the early signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer because it cannot be medically diagnosed in its early stages. Unexpected weight loss, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, sudden changes in bowel habits, blood clots, shivering, nausea, vomiting, and indigestion are all signs of advanced pancreatic cancer.
