Pancreatic cancer isn't one-size-fits-all.

There are several types of pancreatic cancer, and understanding the differences is key to diagnosis, treatment, and awareness.

Here's a quick breakdown:

Adenocarcinoma: The most common form (over 95%), starting in the cells lining the pancreatic ducts.

Acinar Cell Carcinoma: A rare type that develops at the ends of the ducts.

Cystic Tumors: Fluid-filled growths in the pancreas are mostly benign, but some may become cancerous.

Sarcomas: Rare tumors arising from the connective tissue that holds the pancreas together.

Every type behaves differently, and knowing what you're facing helps you and your care team make informed choices.

Pancreatic cancer is known as a silent killer.
It rarely shows clear signs until it's advanced. But the early symptoms are there; we just don’t always recognize them.

Here’s what to watch for:

Persistent bloating or indigestion

Mid-back pain or discomfort

Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)

Unexplained weight loss

Loss of appetite

Sudden onset of diabetes

Fatigue or weakness

Light-colored stools or dark urine

These symptoms often seem unrelated or harmless, but knowing the signs can lead to earlier detection — and save lives.

Don’t ignore changes in your body. Talk to your doctor and trust your gut.

Share this post to spread awareness. You might help someone catch pancreatic cancer before it’s too late.

Not all pancreatic growths are cancer.

Some are fluid-filled cysts that need monitoring.
Others are solid tumors that may require urgent treatment.
And sometimes, only advanced imaging or biopsy can tell the difference.

🧪 Cyst or 🧱 Tumor? Knowing the difference matters, and it could change everything about your care.

Save this post so you’re prepared if you or a loved one faces a diagnosis.

CT. MRI. PET. EUS.
If these sound like alphabet soup, you’re not alone.

Each imaging test plays a role in diagnosing and staging pancreatic cancer, and most patients need more than one.

Did you know that 10% of pancreatic cancer cases are caused by inherited genetic mutations?

If pancreatic cancer runs in your family, you could be at higher risk, even if you feel perfectly healthy.

Talking to your doctor about genetic testing or counseling could lead to earlier detection or preventive care.
