Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) is a highly lethal cancer, often diagnosed when it affects the head of the pancreas, leading to earlier clinical presentation for those cases compared to distal PAC.
- A study was conducted on 151 patients with confirmed PAC, revealing that 39.1% had distal tumors, primarily located in the body of the pancreas.
- Results indicated that obesity is significantly linked to the occurrence of distal PAC, along with a notable association of abdominal pain with this type as opposed to head location.
