The disease is rarely diagnosised in time for lifesaving treatment, and removes about half a million people annually; here is what to look for.

What is pancreatic canc3r?
Pancreatic canc3r happens when cells in your pancreas mutate (change) and multiply out of control, forming a tumor. Your pancreas is a gland in your abdomen (belly), between your spine and stomach. It produces hormones that control bl00d-sugar levels and enzymes that aid in digestion.
Early-stage pancreatic tumors don’t expose on imaging tests. For this reason, many people don’t receive a diagnosis until the canc3r has developed.

How the pancreatic canc3r develops

DNA changes: DNA changes, or mutations, in a cell’s DNA cause it to grow and multiply too quickly.
Cell division: Cells normally divide to replace old cells, but with cancer cells, this process breaks down.
Tumor formation: The extra cells form a mass of tissue called a tumor.
