Pancreatic cancer

Definition

Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the pancreatic cells.

Pancreatic cancers are divided into two groups: exocrine tumors (95% cases) and endocrine tumors (neuroendocrine pacreatic tumors, 5% of cases).

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the most common type of pancreatic cancer that arises from the duct lining cells. These ducts remove the digestive enzymes from the pancreas.

Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas is a less common pancreatic tumor originating from cells that produce pancreatic enzymes.

Other less common exocrine cancers include adenosquamous carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, signet ring cell carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, and undifferentiated giant cell type carcinoma.
