Pancreatic tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach that plays a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), with the latter being more common and often more serious. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, weight loss, and jaundice, but many people may not experience noticeable signs until the disease has progressed. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like CT scans or MRI, and treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Early detection is vital for improving outcomes, as pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage.
