Pancreatic Cancer - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Pancreatic cancer is a relatively rare disorder, accounting for about
3 in 100 cases of all cancer in the US. However, the disease, which
mainly affects people over 50, is becoming more common in the US as
life expectancy increases. Pancreatic cancer occurs almost twice as
frequently in men as in women and the disease is slightly more common
in African-Americans and Polynesians. People with pancreatic cancer
usually have few symptoms until the disorder reaches an advanced stage
and often not until it has spread to other parts of the body,
typically the lymph nodes in the abdomen and the liver. The disease is
nearly always fatal and is the fourth most common cause of death from
cancer in the US. Little is known about the causes of pancreatic
cancer, but it has been linked with diet, in particular with fatty
foods and high alcohol consumption.
