Pancreatic cancer arises when cells in the pancreas, a glandular organ behind the stomach, begin to multiply out of control and form a mass. These cancerous cells have the ability to invade other parts of the body. There are a number of types of pancreatic cancer.
What Causes Pancreatic Cancer? Pancreatic cancer causes are not yet well understood. Through extensive research studies, scientists have determined that pancreatic cancer forms when cells within the pancreas develop mutations in their DNA, or genetic information. These mutations cause the cells to grow uncontrollably or live longer than they should.
