Pancreatic cancer starts when the cells start growing abnormally and results in symptoms such as abdominal pain, weight loss, diarrhea, jaundice, blood clot, etc. The biggest risk factor, which leads to pancreatic cancer, is smoking. Other risk factors include pancreatitis, obesity, family history of pancreatic cancer, and older age. Treatment for pancreatic cancer depends on the stage and location of the cancer as well as on overall health and personal preferences. Treatment may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of these. When pancreatic cancer is advanced and these treatments aren't likely to offer a benefit, the doctor offers symptom relief (palliative care).
