It is a type of cancer that originates in the tissue of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach that produces digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin. This cancer can be difficult to detect in its early stages due to the lack of specific symptoms. Early detection and treatment are critical to improving survival rates and quality of life for patients with pancreatic cancer. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and targeted therapies, depending on the stage and location of the cancer. Oncothermia may be a complementary option to help fight the cancer.
