The cancer of the pancreas or pancreatic cancer occurs in the exocrine or the endocrine component of the pancreas. The former is called exocrine pancreatic cancer and the latter is known as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs). Biopsy, endoscopic ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, etc. are used to confirm the diagnosis of the cancer, and determine its resectability as a potential intervention. Surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are some of the therapeutic and management strategies of exocrine pancreatic cancer. PanNET cases can be addressed through surgery, medication and occasional radiotherapy. This book aims to elucidate the causes, diagnosis and treatment of the different forms of pancreatic cancer. It unravels the recent studies in the evaluation and therapeutic interventions relevant to this medical condition. This book is an essential guide for clinicians, doctors and medical students.
