Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the pancreas. Although it is not exactly known what causes it, there are certain risk factors for the disease, such as cigarette smoking and having diabetes. Possible symptoms of this type of cancer include jaundice, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. Treatment options will vary, depending on the stage of the pancreatic cancer, the location where the tumor started, and whether the cancer has spread outside of the pancreas.
