Pancreatic cancer is relatively rare, but generally feared. Indeed, this cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease, with few symptoms early in its progression.
Cancer of the pancreas, a gland located in the abdomen just behind the stomach, primarily affects seniors. According to the French National Society of Gastroenterology, there are 14,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer per year in France, mainly in people over 50. Previously predominantly found in men, it is also increasingly seen in women.
