    Pancreatic carcinoma, commonly known as pancreatic cancer, is a malignant tumor that originates in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach that plays a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. The most common type is pancreatic adenocarcinoma, which arises from the exocrine cells responsible for producing digestive enzymes. This type of cancer is particularly aggressive and often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to its subtle early symptoms.
