Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in pancreatic tissues. Pancreatic cancer risk can be influenced by smoking and family history. Pancreatic cancer symptoms include jaundice, pain, and weight loss. Early detection of pancreatic cancer is difficult. Pancreatic cancer is diagnosed and staged using tests that examine the pancreas. Certain factors influence prognosis (the likelihood of recovery) and treatment options. The stage of cancer will assist the surgeon in determining the best surgery to remove the tumors. This is accomplished through the use of a staging laparoscopy. It also aids in determining whether or not it is resectable. The procedure entails collecting biopsy samples from areas where cancer has spread. This is accomplished by making small incisions or cuts in the abdomen and inserting long, thin instruments. On the video camera attached to one of the instruments, the surgeon examines the pancreas and other organs for tumors. In the treatment of pancreatic cancer, two types of surgeries are used.
