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.
Often, the cause of pancreatic cancer is not known. However, the following factors may raise a personâs risk of developing pancreatic cancer: Age. The risk of developing pancreatic cancer increases with age. Most people who develop pancreatic cancer are older than 45. In fact, 90% are older than 55 and 70% are older than 65. However, adults of any age can be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Gender. More men are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer than women (see Statistics). Race/ethnicity. Black people are more likely than Asian, Hispanic, or white people to develop pancreatic cancer.
