It remains the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Although strongly associated with tobacco use, lung cancer also occurs in individuals who have never smoked. In […]
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer, beginning in the cells that line the pancreatic ducts. These ducts carry digestive enzymes from the pancreas to the small intestine. When the ductal cells begin to grow uncontrollably, they form a tumor that can spread quickly—often before symptoms appear. This fast-moving nature […]

Endocrine pancreatic tumors, also known as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs), develop in the hormone-producing cells of the pancreas. Unlike the more aggressive ductal adenocarcinoma, these tumors often grow slowly and may behave very differently depending on whether they produce hormones. Some remain small and cause no symptoms, while others release excess hormones that disrupt normal […]
