(PharmaNewsWire.Com, November 03, 2017 ) Pancreatic cancer is caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the pancreas. This abnormal, unrestrained growth of cells results in the formation of lumps of tissue, widely referred to as tumors. The presence of tumors prevents the normal functioning of pancreas. The occurrence and mortality rate of pancreatic cancer market is more in men than in women. The annual mortality rate per 100,000 people from pancreatic cancer in Latin America has increased by 145.4% since 1990, an average of 6.3% a year.
The developed tumor hinders the normal functioning of pancreas. The biggest risk factor which leads to pancreatic cancer is smoking. Apart from lifestyle dependent factors like alcohol consumption, obesity and smoking, a personal or family history of pancreatitis or old age may result in a person being affected by pancreatic cancer.
Technologies are yet to develop fully for the timely diagnosis of this cancer type, which results in the diagnosis of majority of pancreatic cancer patients at an advanced stage of the disease. This explains the high mortality rates associated with pancreatic cancer. Estimates show that only a small percentage, that is about 12% to 15% of the patients is diagnosed early enough to be treated with surgical procedures, drugs, and chemotherapy.
