Pancreatic cancer is formed by the abnormal growth of cells in the pancreas. If the cancer spreads beyond the pancreas to other organs through the bloodstream, it becomes malignant. The most common type of pancreatic cancer is exocrine cancer, which forms in the pancreatic ducts. Some risk factors for pancreatic cancer include smoking, obesity, diabetes, and family history. Treatment options depend on how advanced the cancer is and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or stents to relieve symptoms. Varanasi Hospital in India offers laparoscopic surgery and other treatments for pancreatic cancer.
