The Basics of Pancreatic Cancer and Its Treatment

The pancreases are a gland located behind the stomach and in front of the spine. It is responsible for secretion of enzymes, or digestive juices into the small intestine to further break down food after it has left the stomach. Perhaps the most important function of the pancreas is production of the hormone insulin. It is released into the bloodstream in order to regulate the body's glucose or sugar level and without that the blood sugar levels will soon spiral out of control causing a lot of problems.


What Causes Pancreatic Cancer?
Despite all the development in medical sciences very little is known behind the cause of pancreatic cancer. It has been found that this form of cancer is caused by defective DNAs in our gene. Because of the bad DNA, faulty cells are developed which later causes cancer. Also, it has been found that the cancer may be caused due to excessive smoking, long history of diabetes and poor lifestyle.

Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer treatment in Delhi; like other cancer treatments, begin with diagnosis and staging. This is very important before treatment proceeds to the next phase. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are subsequent stages of cancer treatment. Chemotherapy uses drugs to treat cancer, while radiation therapy uses X-rays or other kinds of radiation to kill cancer cells. Both forms of cancer are effective and are provided in leading hospitals in New Delhi.
