Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer affects the pancreas, the organ that makes certain hormones and aids in digestion. The most common type of pancreatic cancer is exocrine tumors, which affect the glands that make digestive enzymes. Endocrine tumors develop in the pancreatic islets cells, which make insulin and glucagon. Pancreatic cancer is a rare type of gastrointestinal cancer.
