(PharmaNewsWire.Com, December 15, 2017 ) Pancreatic cancer is caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the pancreas. This abnormal, unrestrained growth of cells results in the formation of lumps of tissue, widely referred to as tumors. The presence of tumors prevents the normal functioning of pancreas. The occurrence and mortality rate of pancreatic cancer market is more in men than in women. SEER estimates that pancreatic cancer accounts for around seven percent of the total cancer deaths in the US annually.
Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow beyond control. Pancreatic cancer starts when cells in the pancreas start to grow incessantly eventually resulting in symptoms like abdominal pain, weight loss, diarrhea, and jaundice. The developed tumor hinders the normal functioning of pancreas. The biggest risk factor which leads to pancreatic cancer is smoking. Apart from lifestyle dependent factors like alcohol consumption, obesity and smoking, a personal or family history of pancreatitis or old age may result in a person being affected by pancreatic cancer.
