Pancreatic cancer arises in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ that aids digestion and regulates blood sugar.
It is often diagnosed at a later stage because early symptoms can be vague or absent.
Risk increases with age; most cases occur in people over 60.
Known risk factors include smoking, obesity, a family history of pancreatic cancer, certain genetic syndromes, chronic pancreatitis, and long-standing diabetes.
Survival rates have improved only modestly; early detection leads to better outcomes.
