Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy that originates in the pancreas, an essential organ responsible for digestion and blood sugar regulation. It occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, forming tumors that can spread to other organs. Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine states that pancreatic cancer is highly aggressive, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to vague early symptoms.
