The pancreas, located behind the lower part of the stomach, is responsible for releasing enzymes that aid digestion and produces hormones that help manage blood sugar. Cancerous and noncancerous growths can occur in the pancreas, but the most common type of cancer that forms in the pancreas begins in the cells that line the ducts that carry digestive enzymes out of the pancreas. This is called pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b id=\"docs-internal-guid-ab62d850-7fff-4c16-4ffd-7e3ab34891e7\" style=\"font-weight: normal\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.3800000000000001;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: Arial;color: #0e101a;background-color: transparent;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">Symptoms<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.3800000000000001;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: Arial;color: #0e101a;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">Pancreatic cancer is seldom detected at its early stages when it&#8217;s most curable, as the symptoms of pancreatic cancer often don&#8217;t occur until the disease is advanced.
