Definitions for "Pancreatic cancer"
Pancreatic cancer develops when cancer cells form in the tissues of your pancreas—the large organ that lies horizontally behind the lower part of your stomach. Your pancreas is primarily responsible for aiding digestion and helping to regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates. Symptoms may include upper abdominal pain, loss of appetite, considerable weight loss, yellowing of the skin, nausea, itching, digestive problems and depression.
