Definition: Pancreatic Cancer (also called cancer of the pancreas) is represented by the growth of a malignant tumour within the small pancreas organ. Each year about 31,000 individuals in the United States are diagnosed with this condition, with more than 60,000 in Europe.

The most common form of this disease is known as adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

A less common, and typically far less aggressive form of Pancreatic Cancer, is called islet-cell tumor (and is sometimes also known by the term neuroendocrine tumor).
