Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer Care at UVM Cancer Center
Pancreatic cancer happens when abnormal cells grow and form tumors in the pancreas. There are two types of pancreatic tumors: exocrine, which are in the cells that make digestive enzymes, and endocrine tumors, which are in the cells that make insulin. Most people with pancreatic cancer have exocrine tumors that grow faster than endocrine tumors.
